Graduation at any age - significant event, which leaves a bright imprint in the life of every person. Farewell to school or kindergarten, beginning adult life– all these are serious events that mark a transition to a new stage of development. This is especially true for the 11th grade graduating class of 2016. For these guys, their school years are coming to an end, serious studies at institutes lie ahead, and then work. But it’s no easier for young graduates. After all, for them, graduation in 2016 kindergarten– the first grand celebration in my life.

It’s easy to guess that girls of all ages at this time are faced with the same question: “Mom, what dress should I wear?” Indeed, the task is not easy. Sometimes there are so many options, and even more advisers, and as a result, the ideal solution is not just lost, but is also replaced by a combination of not the best ideas from those same advisers. This is why mothers of graduates need to look more information about which children's prom dresses will be the most relevant in 2016. This also applies to older girls, who themselves should look at photos of prom dresses in 9th or 11th grade. After all, a dress should not only be stylish, but also emphasize all the charms of young beauties, their youth and spontaneity. How to achieve this effect? Let's figure it out.

In no case should the dress interfere with comfort

Basic rules when choosing a dress

No matter what grade a girl graduates from, there are a number of rules that dresses for absolutely all graduates must comply with.

  1. Firstly, the dress should be comfortable. Of course, some dresses for the 11th grade graduation of 2016 do not comply with this rule, but this does not bother the girls. Be that as it may, all the girls will have to dance, walk, and so on. Therefore, in no case should the dress interfere with comfort.
  2. Secondly, the girl herself should like the dress. Very often, in kindergarten or at the end of fifth grade, “caring” mothers themselves choose dresses for their daughters that they don’t like at all. As a result, the little ones begin to feel self-conscious and want to take off their outfit as quickly as possible. Remember that children at this age have a special psyche. In high school, you shouldn’t insist on your own option. And, perhaps, this is one of those cases when a compromise would be inappropriate. If, for example, you take a belt from jeans, earrings in the shape of skulls and a dress from the elegant collection from Chanel, then this is unlikely to be a compromise between a teenage girl and a mother with exquisite taste will be successful.
  3. Finally, thirdly, the dress must match the occasion. You shouldn't go to prom in a denim dress. This applies to girls of all ages, since graduations are still official events. You need to maintain a special style.

That's all the mandatory rules when choosing a prom dress. Otherwise, there can only be advice, since no one should stop a graduate from showing her individuality. You can only share the most relevant ideas. In fact, further in the article such ideas will be presented for girls of all ages.


The dress should emphasize all the charms of young beauties, their youth and spontaneity

Kindergarten graduation dress: 2016

The youngest graduates this year will be children who are leaving kindergarten to go to first grade. This is the child’s first experience of participating in such events. Therefore, everything must be perfect.

Children's fashion this year has moved not far from adult fashion. For girls younger age Dresses with lace and embroidery are also relevant. You can often see decorations in the form of sequins, pearls or other stones, beads, rhinestones and ruffles. Fluffy dresses for girls of this age necessarily have a frame made of rings, so they may not be very comfortable. Petticoats are often made from organza. Sometimes tulle is used.

How to choose a dress for prom?

The most important thing is that the graduate feels comfortable in it. Ten and seventeen year old girls happily spend the entire day in lush, chic dresses. But your daughter is only five to seven years old. We're sure she'll want to wear it fluffy dress on the rings?

It is best to choose an outfit together with your daughter. Show her pictures of dresses or go shopping with her. She, after all, has to wear it. Let her try to choose herself.


Dresses with lace and embroidery are popular for younger girls.

It is also important to take into account the nuance that the dress should be made of natural materials so that the young graduate feels comfortable in it. It is best if the outfit is made of cotton or silk. This is also important because the child may develop allergies to other tissues.

What accessories are relevant for a 2016 kindergarten graduation dress?

Since girls of this age are still poorly versed in jewelry and other women's things, simple children's accessories will suit them.

  1. Small clutch. You can put anything there, but this is so important for children.
  2. Beads. Small necklaces made of artificial pearls or other stones look most original on children.
  3. Fairy wand. For graduation in kindergarten this would be a great idea. Even Magic wand will not fit the image, the girl will at least be able to play with her friends.
  4. Diadem. Quite a cute option for young princesses. You can make such a decoration yourself, or you can buy it in a store.
  5. Hat. There is no need to insist here, since many girls do not like them at all.
  6. Fan. A huge number of fans for children are sold: both standard and with images of cartoon characters. Invite your daughter to choose one of them.
  7. Cape. If it is cool outside or in the kindergarten, the girl should have the opportunity to wear a cape that will match her dress.
  8. Shoes. Of course, Cinderellas need shoes. These can be either ballet flats or elegant shoes. Just don’t buy shoes with heels higher than two centimeters, as they can cause flat feet or poor posture.

You should not insist on a certain decoration or look for something that is the most interesting. Your child may already have own idea. Just ask him.

Graduation dress 2016 in 9th grade

In 9th grade, graduates are still not quite adults, so it is not necessary to choose formal-style dresses. You can focus more on fashionable teenage clothing. One of the most striking trends of this season remains short, tight-fitting dresses with rhinestones, lace and prints. You can complete the look by wearing stiletto heels. A ninth grader will look stylish in this outfit.

Moreover, ninth-graders do not always graduate from school; they can either leave or stay. The outfit should match this image.

What colors of dresses for graduation 2016 in 9th grade are most relevant?

  1. Heavenly color. This dress with inserts made of transparent or light fabric will perfectly harmonize with platform shoes.
  2. Fuchsia is also a very fashionable color this season. Add a couple of golden jewelry to the dress and the princess is ready for the ball.
  3. Silver or gold. These shades are always popular, and at a bright, but at the same time rather informal holiday, they will be very useful.
  4. Coral or turquoise have been a hit for many years. Dresses of this color are perfect for all girls.
  5. Blue or orange are popular colors in 2015-2016. In such outfits you will look very fashionable.

Turquoise color has been a hit for many years

However, it is important to remember one truth: no matter how beautiful the color is, if it does not suit the girl, the dress will look terrible.

Dress styles for ninth graders

Of course, to find your ideal option, you need to look at photos of dresses for the 9th grade graduation of 2016. It is better to choose dresses according to your figure, depending on your strengths or weaknesses. For example, if you have an “apple” or “rectangle” figure, a bright, wide belt will improve the situation. And girls with a triangle-type figure need to draw the attention of others to the less noticeable part of the body, hiding the more expressive one.

If a girl is tall, a dress of any length will suit her. Short dresses will be more suitable for short girls, since long ones will visually reduce their height.

You can either pin your hair up or leave it loose. A the best option– do something original or just go to the hairdresser. You shouldn’t go overboard with makeup, everything should be natural.

Graduation dresses 2016 for 11th grade

These girls are the most mature. They are finishing school this year. They will remember this day more than their kindergarten or ninth grade graduation, not only because they have become more mature and more aware. For this day, they went through 11 years of schooling. And now, after successfully passing the exams, they can arrange a holiday for themselves. Therefore, everything should go just perfectly. You can read further on how to arrange this.

Graduation dress styles for 11th grade

Since 11th grade graduates are practically adult girls, they should have dresses top level. Firstly, they must be fashionable. Secondly, adults. Thirdly (where would we be without this) – convenient.

  1. So, about fashion. This year, asymmetry in everything is popular. Therefore, girls’ dresses can be on one shoulder, they can have a different structure or a different shape at the bottom. Dresses with a train remain relevant. The new hit was the fish dress. Its distinctive feature is that it completely fits the body, but at the bottom its edges look like a voluminous ball or any other figure. Thus, the edges of such a dress slightly resemble fish tail. To better understand what we are talking about, girls need to watch new products prom dresses for 11th grade 2016.

Dresses can be either lush or ordinary. It all depends on individual preferences and body shape. Girls with too voluminous hips are better off wearing a fluffy dress. Tight-fitting dresses are more suitable for girls with an ideal figure.


Dresses with a train remain relevant

Almost all colors will suit. The most commonly used are the classic ones: white and black, silver and gold. This year, turquoise and coral, blue and orange remain fashionable. Recently, the colors fuchsia and azure have declared their importance. Particular preference is given to pastel shades.

For prom, accessories in the form of a necklace, bracelet and possibly rings are recommended. Quite often, some kind of jewelry is woven into the hair and earrings are worn. As mentioned above, you can come to the celebration with either loose hair or an elegant hairstyle.

  1. Let's move on to the second point. Clothing must be appropriate. After all, prom is an official event, which you shouldn’t come to in a torn rocker dress. The latter, by the way, is considered part of a separate trend, which has recently become very popular. But it’s still much better to choose traditional Black and white dress. By the way, this year floral prints are no longer relevant. It is much better to choose classic geometric monochrome patterns.
  2. And finally, the last point. Of course, in 11th grade you can wear stilettos, but it shouldn’t look funny. Before the ball, try walking in your shoes on the ground or floor to get used to it. If you absolutely can't do it, it's better to wear other low-heeled shoes. Look at the photos of dresses for graduation 2016 in 11th grade to understand which shoes are best to choose. Try to take note of a few ideas. And remember: comfort is important.

This year, turquoise and coral, blue and orange remain fashionable.

We hope this article helped you. Good luck!

Surely your classmates are already discussing their plans, and you can understand which dresses there will be more of. Based on this, you can choose a dress for yourself.

Secondly, remember that graduation is still an official event. Of course, the temptation to cause a final commotion for the whole class is quite great, but why? Anyway, by the middle of the evening you will feel a little sad from parting with your friends and favorite teachers, so it is better to spend your last evening with them in an atmosphere of warmth and positive emotions. Light “hooliganism”, of course, is not forbidden, but more on that later.

Classic is classic, no matter how old you are, and the occasion for which you choose the outfit does not matter either. Simple black dress close-fitting silhouette, minimalist style - this is always good idea for girls who value elegance in its canonical sense and do not strive to amaze others with their stunning outfits.

When choosing a black prom dress, try to make the look sophisticated, not too revealing in the fit and cutouts. Don't forget to complement your style with accessories - beautiful jewelry, an evening clutch and shoes.

As a prom dress, you can choose a classic fluffy dress - long, with a corset, one-piece. It is better to refrain from wearing a neckline; instead, you can give preference to a dress with a modest neckline. Depending on what kind of image you want to create - sophisticated or formal - you can choose dresses with a slight ruffle, pleats, drapery, or dresses that, on the contrary, are not overloaded with unnecessary details.


Another favorite option for prom is a cocktail dress, when choosing which you need to avoid too short a length, so that the dress does not turn from a sophisticated outfit into tasteless and provocative. Delicate shades or bright rich colors, modesty and a minimum of details or flounces, gathers and grabs - everything is suitable for a cocktail dress. Pair with a clutch, sandals or high heels to create an unforgettable look.


As for color, in 2016 almost all shades are popular - from rich and bright to delicate and pastel, but there are still favorites - gold, silver, turquoise, ink, coral, black, fuchsia.


When wondering about 2016, it is important to remember one of the main rules - you need to focus not only on fashion trends, but also on how the dress looks on the figure. Even the most fashionable dress, depending on the characteristics of your figure, can look ugly and funny, which can easily ruin the long-awaited prom.
