Find Special First Holy Communion Dresses

By Juliette Cruz


One should go out of their way to help a child make a decision when choosing from the many first Holy Communion dresses. This is a sacred day so there are a few things a parent will want to consider. There is the softness of the material and of course the price. Sentimentality of the choice of dress is crucial to some. Style may be figured in as well.

The style of the girl whose special day this is should be considered. Does she like to wear dresses or does she prefer slacks because this is a question to ponder. Really it is her day so making her as comfortable and excited as possible about her outfit.

Many times special dresses that are exceptionally dressy can be itchy. It will not be a fun day if the communicant is uncomfortable. It is important that nothing is poking them. The material should be soft as well. Watch out if a crinoline is under the dress to make it poufy. Many times this is the culprit of discomfort.

Tradition is wonderful, so if there is a family dress that has been passed down, by all means the child should be offered the chance to wear it. The girl may not want to and this should be respected as well. There may be another girl in the family who will want it. It is not a good idea to force her to wear it.

Some little girls will not wear a dress. This is okay and there are alternatives. A lovely pair of white pants with a dressy blouse can be quite lovely and first communion is not about the dress, it is about the sacrament.

Another thought is to have the dress made just for the girl. There are all kinds of people who enjoy sewing and one could commission one of them to do this if the price is right. This will make the child feel very special.

A white fancy pantsuit could be an alternative. In these modern times it actually is an option and really what is important is the communion, not the outfit. A parent would like this to be a special day for their daughter and forcing them into something which makes them so uncomfortable may not be wise.

It's exciting to go to the store and try on a variety of gowns. This shopping trip can make a little girl feel unique and special. There are many choices so it is wise to leave a good amount of time for trying on and decision-making.

A beautiful white purse, lovely shoes and the veil must be considered and bought as well. These accessories help to make the day complete. If the Godparents want to gift the child with a cross on a chain or some other meaningful jewelry, these can be worn as well.

Choosing first Holy Communion dresses is an event that should be shared. Mom, dad and daughter can go together to select the perfect one. Include the child's godparents in the selection will make the day even more special. A family could actually start a new tradition in this way.
