If You’re Tall
Look for a dress with a defined waistline. Peplums are perfect but a sash or belt at the narrowest part of your waist will also help break up your long, tall frame.

Beautiful Broad Shoulders
If you’re a girl with a well-developed shoulder line because you rock at all things athletic, or because you’re graced with the upper bodylines of a fashion model, add a bolero or a chiffon cape for a softer look. Also, if you need a bit more coverage for your ceremony, a removable jacket is perfect.

Generous Bosom
Your body has let you know that you’re truly becoming a woman, and that’s something to be proud of. For your ceremony, though, and perhaps to show consideration for the feelings of your parents or godparents, you might want to choose a halter design. You can have the beautiful look of a strapless gown with an illusion and lace overlay that will also give you the confidence to dance the night away!

Smaller Bustline
When it comes to making you beautiful, it’s all about illusion. Choose a full-on embellished bodice with details like ribbons, chiffon or embroidered flowers, sequins, or crystals. A heavily embellished bodice will create a fuller silhouette and play up your other curves.

3. Color
The most important consideration when choosing your Quinceanera dress is that the color flatters your skin tone. While you may exude confidence and could most likely rock all the colors of the rainbow, for this one night, you might want to consider a color that’s a bit more classic.
-
Fair Skin Tones
Jewel tones in saturated colors are a favorite of fair-skinned ladies of all ages. So is emerald green. If you prefer a pastel, choose a hue—be it blue, pink, yellow, or peach—that best flatters your porcelain complexion. Then be sure to pair the delicate shade of the dress with a deeper shade of lipstick for a little extra pop.

Medium Skin Tones
Copper, metallic silver, and gold are stunning on bronze-skinned beauties. For something different, while you might not consider gray the first choice for a dress, it is gorgeous on medium-skinned ladies. A gentle translucent gray can soften your complexion and make you look a bit lighter-skinned if that’s your wish. If you really want your inner brightness to shine through and your family is on board with a bolder look, you can opt for neon colors, especially if your Quince is in the summer or you live in the south year round and have a beautiful tan.

Dark Skin Tones
Think primary colors. Red, blue, and lighter shades of yellow are pretty much no-fail colors with your complexion. Many of these colors accentuate your skin tone and make you even more the center of attention—and that’s exactly what you want on this special night!

4. Use a Little Common Sense & Try it On!
Don’t buy your dress online without at least trying a sample locally. You won’t know the fit or the feel of the fabric until you have it in front of you. Even if 99% of the time, you’re a perfect off-the-rack size, many formal dresses don’t run true to size due to variations of the manufacturer or the fabric. Always try on the dress before buying. In fact, make sure to try on as many gowns as you can. Take notes on which gown looks best on you, and feels best to you.
