Dress Shopping Guide: How to Buy First Communion Dress

First communion is quite important for each Catholic child. Dressing properly is really necessary on that important day. Are you parents who are searching for kid first communion dresses, then you should read this post. The following are some advice on how to choose A Kid First Communion Dress for your daughters.

Most churches require the dress to be white, other details are usually left to the discretion of the parents. There are many things to consider when choosing the dress. Do you want the dress to be simple or elaborate? What about the sleeve details, cap sleeves or long sleeves? Prefer dresses with luxury beadings or plain dresses? Also take your daughter's personality and comfort into consideration when choosing her communion dress. 

There are no specific ages when you will need to take your little girl to the communion. This is something that you need to consider. If your little girl looks childish, then you will need to choose something cute for little girl. However, if your little girl looks a little bit mature with the posture of a teenage girl, then you will need to make sure that your girl will appear beautifully, not cute. Therefore, you will be able to give the nice dress for her first communion.

Also, choose a fabric your daughter will be comfortable wearing. You don’t want her to be fidgeting throughout the mass. Always remember that certain dresses may be special order items that require extra processing time; this can be anywhere from a few days to several weeks before shipping. Don’t forget time for the alterations! We suggest ordering the dress about three months in advance.

Not all cultural backgrounds are the same. Some traditions have very fancy and elaborate styling to their formal dressesfor special occasions: think lots of frills. In many Latin and Asian cultures, the more flamboyant the dress is, the better it would be. In other settings this may be completely out of place, less is more. There also may be certain symbols appropriate to your culture, for example, families with a strong Irish heritage may appreciate Irish emblems such as shamrock detail on the dress.

Taking the child’s measurements is really important. With three simple measurements for bust, waist, and length, you’ll be able to select the correct size without worry. Always compare the child’s measurements to the dress size chart as it is common for each dress to have unique measurements. The size chart measurements provided are for the finished garment.  If the measurements are on the cusp of the size, you'd better consider the next size up.
