What Are Damas and Where To Buy Beautiful Dama Dresses

Quinceanera is a tradition that celebrates a girl's transition to a young lady. It is observed by Latin American girls and this occasion is similar to the sweet sixteen traditions that Americans follow. One of the most important elements of a Quinceanera is the Corte de Honor (Court of Honor). It is made up of 14 girls who are known as damas and 14 boys known as chambelanes. These young people are the friends and family members of the birthday girl.

Many modern celebrations do not require as many damas and chambelanes now. Some even choose to have only 1 dama and 1 chambelane. Actually, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing the quinceanera court. Celebrating your Quinceanera is important but it is just as important to choose the people whom you can get along with. It is all about making memories during the quinceanera.  The damas and chambelanes will be with the Quinceanera throughout the day. They will be there for the birthday girl, wear a fancy dress that the birthday girl has chosen, take part in any photo shoots or dance. Basically, the dama does the work of a maid of honor at the wedding.

What Is The Difference Between A Quinceanera Dress and A Dama Dress

The quinceanera girl's gown is often a lavish affair. It is usually a voluminous ball gown with intricate details and embroidery. The decorations on the quince dress represent the grandeur of the transition from childhood to womanhood.

While the role of damas is significant, their attire is less opulent compared to the Quinceanera herself.  The dama dress is usually more understated but will complements the main gown in style and color. The difference in the two dresses is intentional. The Quinceanera dress is meant to ensure that the birthday girl stands out. The dama dresses, although elegant, are designed to not overshadow the Quinceanera's gown.

Now that you understand more about your damas and their role in the quinceanera court of honor, it’s time to start selecting a dress for them. The right dama dress can take a girl from ordinary to extraordinary. Make a statement with MyChicDress dama dresses for Quinceanera.
