Edited by Maria Sharon Ubando, Eng, Graeme, Lynn
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.
