Sadie Robertson: After 'DWTS' success, what's next for Duck Dynasty reality star?

Sadie Robertson for Sherri Hill

Sadie Robertson's dancing gig is finally over, but the world has not seen the last of her yet. The "Dancing With the Stars" season 19 second placer is now back with her famous reality show family in West Monroe, Louisiana. They are featured in A&E's hit show "Duck Dynasty," which happens to be considered as the most watched nonfiction cable show in television history. 

Presently, the 17-year-old reality show star is taking a much-needed holiday break after the strenuous months of training with partner Mark Ballas for "DWTS." 

"I'm excited to be coming back home to relax with the family for Thanksgiving," Sadie shared in an earlier interview with The News-Star. "I'm exhausted. I've never been this tired. But I'm going to eat whatever I want on Thanksgiving." 

She said that though she keeps on receiving amazing offers after the reality dance competition, she will just see where God will lead her. Sadie, along with her whole family, is known for her deep Christian faith.

But while her showbiz career is temporarily put on hold, the 17-year old star has no plans of being idle for long. She recently announced that she will venture into another industry soon. This time, she will embark on the fashion world by joining designer Sherri Hill in creating chic but modest, "daddy approved" prom dresses. 

And speaking of fathers, Sadie's dad said that they are very proud of all her achievements. 

"We're very proud of Sadie on many levels, mostly for staying true to herself and faith while competing," her father Willie said during the News Star interview. "I didn't know she had it in her. For someone with no dance experience it was impressive."  

Even Sadie's mother Korie cannot help but beam with pride at everything that her daughter has achieved these past months. 

"We were most proud that she stayed true to herself and that she killed it on the dance floor," Mrs. Robertson said. "We appreciate all of the support from the community back home — the signs, the tweets, everything was just awesome."
