That is A Gown of Honour

March 01,2013

The word quinceanera refers to a girl turning fifteen and is a traditional custom of the Latin American people around the world.

The celebration of quinceanera is usually called fiesta de quince aÃ±os or simply quince is an elaborate birthday celebration which usually starts with the arrival of the teenager (quinceanera) wearing a special dress called quinceanera dress named after the particular event; with her father. The quinceanera is adorned with makeup and accessories. The arrival of the teenager is highlighted by light music and giving of flowers to the father. The ceremony continues with the young woman doing the waltz with her father and other men of the family.

Since the quinceanera is at the centre of all attraction and eyes thus this festive and important celebration demands that the young women stand out in the crowd and one way of doing that is to wear a formal gown to the occasion. Traditionally the quinceanera dresses were usually white or pink but as the times have changed the more modern approach to gowns has been accepted a little. The young teenagers of today look for modern and elegantly designed gowns to wear and some of them really go out and out for trendy and colourful gowns.

Quinceanera Dresses with the modern times have changed in a big way with yellows, purples and blues competing with the traditional hues, yet the basic design requires yards and yards of crinoline or tulle. There are several different designs and styles for Quinceanera dresses and finding one that fits your needs and makes you look amazing is an easy task with a lot of designers and fashion houses making custom made gowns for the special celebrations.

There are several designs available, including the A-line or Princess cut that is narrow at the shoulders and gradually flares out elegantly. The Quinceanera dresses that are more traditional are fitted from the waist up and have a full skirt. This particular design seems to be a favourite among many young ladies as the style is perfect for many different types of body shapes. The prices for these special quinceanera dresses can cost anywhere between $100 to $1000 depending upon the specific needs and requirements of the quinceanera. None the less the quince is a time to start a new chapter of a young girls life who has blossomed from a child to a wonderful young lady and it's a special occasion to celebrate the womanhood of the birthday girl.
