Is it Time to Buy That First Communion Dress?

Do you know a special little girl who is reaching the age of her First Communion? Have you looked for the ‘just perfect’ communion dress but you can’t seem to find it? It’s understandable that you intend to be a little choosey, after all this majestic moment in a little girl’s life only happens once, and nothing short of a magical gown will do. The First Communion dress will evoke many memories as the years go by, and the garment may even be handed down to generations yet to come.

The Choices are Endless

One thing you may have already discovered in your search for the ideal communion dress is that the variety of styles, colors, fabrics, and accessories is nearly limitless. There are beaded dresses and garments that are festooned with rosettes or flower petal designs—a knee length or floor length dress is an additional decision that has to be made. Whatever communion dress is finally selected, be certain that it is appropriate for the little girl who will be wearing it, that it reflects her tastes and not necessarily your own—this is, after all, her special day. Before you shop for the perfect communion dress for your little girl, please consider the following:

• Don’t wait too long. Start your shopping early so you won’t feel rushed to purchase an unsatisfactory dress at the last minute.

• Make sure your child accompanies you on the search for the ‘just right’ communion dress. If that isn’t possible, be certain that you have her exact size information with you in the store for a good fit.

• If you intend to purchase accessories, such as a headpiece, hand-held floral arrangement or purse, be sure they will be easy to manage and not prove to be an unwanted distraction.

• Take note of the weather conditions and choose a fabric weight that won’t cause your child to be too hot or too cold.

• Above all else, talk with your daughter about the kind of communion dress she would love to wear on her most special day.

 Speaking of Accessories. . .

It has been said by many that accessories are required to complete the perfect communion dress. One accessory that must be considered, of course, is a complementary pair of shoes, the color of which should be in harmony with the communion dress. Above all else, when it comes to your little girls’ shoes, be certain they are comfortable and slip resistant. Other accessories for the communion dress can include:

• Hair clips or combs
• Tiara and crown veils
• Jewelry or flowers to crown the head
• Purse
• Bracelets, pendants, and more

Rest assured, the perfect communion dress for your little girl is waiting in a retail shop for you or, as an alternative, perhaps you will have a dress that is custom designed and made especially for your child. Whatever the situation, may everyone enjoy a blessed and perfect First Communion day
