Girls go through different stages of their lives. Depending on culture and tradition, age varies as to when a girl is considered a young woman. Americans have "sweet 16", while some countries like the Philippines consider 18 as the "right" age, and in Hispanic culture, 15 is the age of transition of a girl to adulthood. This is called Quinceanera.

In a Quinceanera party, the girl's family and close friends celebrate with her in a party that is well-prepared for. The party serves as a welcome to a girl's womanhood, where the society acknowledges more her worth ad contributions as a woman.

Now, when you say a special party, it should also go with a special gown or dress. This is a very special event in a girl's life, so everything from the venue to her gown should also be very special.

• Dresses with A-line silhouette best fit all types of body figures. It is even more perfect if it is designed with the sweetheart neckline. If you want to highlight your figure, a corset type of gown will do that.
  
• For girls who are either tall or short with slender body type, gowns with trumpet or mermaid cut should be chosen. This is perfect in highlighting the curves.
  
• For girls with heavy or large bust, the empire cut suits them well. This cut also creates an illusion of a smaller midsection.
  
• Sheath-style gowns flatter the petite body type. This cut can do the trick of making the wearer appear taller and bigger.
