Your quinceanera is a very important event in your young life. This is the moment of transition from childhood to youthfulness, so it’s no wonder you want to look special when you celebrate it. A beautiful dress, perfectly styled hair, and a radiant smile on your face are just as important as the location and guest list. You spend weeks, if not months, planning everything with your family, trying on different quinceanera dresses, putting together the perfect menu, and learning the steps to the first dance you are going to dance with your father. And then the big day comes, the holiday flickers before your eyes, and before you know it, the dance is over, the cake is eaten, and the next day starts like it did hundreds of days before.
Except when you wake up the day after the celebration, a quinceanera dress is hanging in your room and you are considered a young woman. It’s wonderful to feel like grown-ups, but that fancy dress you wore the night before, the dress you spent hours searching, trying on, choosing and choosing, is not something you will wear again. You can hang it in the corner of your closet and wear it every now and then for fun, but there are other, perhaps better ways to use your quinceanera dress. Just remember to discuss your ideas with the mother first, as many of them are about scissors and parents don’t always like their kids cutting important pieces of clothing.
One thing you can do with your quinceanera dress is to cut it in half and use the top and bottom for different purposes. The beautiful, perfectly fitted corset of your dress can become a standalone garment, a top that you can wear with less fancy skirts or even jeans to dress them up. The full skirt of your quinceanera dress can be used in many ways. You can turn it into decorative pillows that will remind you of a wonderful day in a nice way; you can use skirt fabric to add a beautiful finish around the window or headboard. As every quinceanera celebration ends with countless photos, you can use the fabric from your dress to combine custom-made photo albums or decorative photo frames showcasing your best photos of the evening.
If you wouldn’t even think about bringing scissors for your quinceanera dress, or don’t have permission to do so, consider some uses for your dress. You can definitely use it as a costume for the upcoming Halloween party by dressing up as a princess or a zombie for a quinceaner and storing it in a protective bag that can wait until you turn eighteen, when you have every right to decide what to do with it. Until then, you may want to cut it up and reuse the fabric, you can sell it to another happy quinceaner, or you can just choose to hold it so when your own daughter needs her quinceaner dress she has a choice of what will be a gown until then vintage.
