The Dress
If you are A cup
12 QM Spring-Summer 2020
The Quinceañera dress is perhaps one
of the most important traditions, very
distinguishable and somehow everything
ties back to the dress, the center of it all.
The silhouette is standard ball gown
princess style, but the necklines and
sleeves are up to whatever you feel
comfortable with.
Traditionally the quince dress was white,
to stand for purity, as the years progressed,
there were colored pastel designs added to
it and now it has progressed in to any and
every color under the sun! It can have bling,
embellishments, glitter, lace or even multiple
colors and prints.
Although there are many trends and prints
that come and go, it’s important to remember
that you don’t want to look back in 15 years
and say what was I thinking?! Sometimes less
is more and it’s all about the fi t of the dress
that makes it extra beautiful no matter how
simple it is.
