There is a booming market revolving around formal dresses for girls. In the past, most young ladies did not get to go to any formal occasions until their junior prom or homecoming dance in high school. After that, there was the senior prom and then graduation. Otherwise, there was not much call for girls to wear glamorous clothing. Today, however, everything in a tween's life is a celebration. There are graduations for elementary school and middle school, elaborate dances nearly every year, religious ceremonies and a host of recitals in which they must participate. Being dressed in trendy, stylish clothing that is similar to what older girls wear to prom is now considered a requirement for these events.

Formal dresses for girls in their tween years--the ages between 11 and 14--will match current trends and styles being worn by popular celebrities while still being age appropriate. This means that the formal dresses tweens wear will not be overtly sexy, but will be attractive and complement the girl's natural features. Pixie skirts, bubble hems, spaghetti straps, pleated skirts, ribbons and lace are all common features on today's tween-based formal dresses. Materials such as satin, taffeta, linen and cotton are all used frequently and colors are usually bold and often accented by simple patterns.
