A Quinceanera is a celebration of a young girl and the recognition of her journey from childhood to maturity. It is a custom in all Latino cultures. This special event is similar to a Sweet 16 party.
This special occasion calls for a special dress or gown. It is important that the gown should flatter the young lady wearing it. Here are several things you need to consider when looking for the right dress for the party girl.
Color: The traditional color of the gown is white or pale pink. Aside from these, the colors of light blue or other pastel colors are best options. There are those who prefer to wear white gown with colorful beadings. Young celebrants usually wear lighter, cool and pastel colors as dark colored gowns are more matured. Consider your preference and style that suits your age.
Style: Gowns in this type of event should be full length. Pick a gown that compliments your body type.
Apple Body Type: Elongated bodices and full skirts only create a bigger waistline, as do the corset skirts that criss cross in the middle area, so avoid this type of design. A V-neckline style with an empire waistline will look better for this type of body.
Pear Body Type: You should avoid gowns with a puffy skirt; it will only emphasize your shape. Shop for a gown that creates a balance to your upper and lower body. A gown with shoulder areas that are puffy is also suitable.
Hourglass Body Type: You can go for designs that will compliment your shoulders. Consider designs like v-necks with off shoulders and body hugging sheaths. These designs balance your body structure. Do not wear gowns that are overly decorated and gowns with full skirts. It creates attention on the hips area.
Square Body Type: For young ladies with this body type, you should consider wearing gowns with beaded necklines and full skirts. You can also go for the padded and oversized shoulder designs because it can create an illusion of shape or curve in the body. On the other hand, avoid clothes that are fitting to the body.
Inverted Pear: A young lady with this body type will look beautiful in a gown that has simple sleeves with a full skirt.
You should also consider how comfortable you are going to feel in your gown. When the Quinceanera goes to mass she has the option of wearing a shawl so she feels more comfortable going into church. After the program starts she can remove the shawl.
At the reception there is mostly dancing. So it would be wise not to wear a strapless gown. You can end up in an embarrassing situation pulling it up all night. If you still want a strapless dress make sure you get it fitted by a professional seamstress.
The purpose of finding the right dress is for the convenience of the person wearing it. The gown should complement the girl's body type and should feel comfortable so she can feel great and enjoy her party. - 15359
