What is a Cotillion?

A Cotillion is a prestigious event where young ladies, known as debutantes, are formally presented to society at an elegant ball. It serves as a celebration of their personal growth and accomplishments, highlighting their development of high moral and technical character, social etiquette skills, and a sense of responsibility and achievement. Through the Cotillion, these young ladies transition from one stage of their lives to another, symbolizing their coming of age.
