Back then, in line with the Catholic tradition, the girl would wear a white dress; however, girls now wear dresses of any color, pink being the most traditional one. Finding the right dress for your quinceañera is a big deal. The dresses have lots of fabric. The party costs a lot of money. a. Quinceañera means fifteen-year-old. ______________________ b.
