First Communion Dresses: Your Guide To The Dress For The Special Day

By Jessica X. Harris


If your little girl is getting ready for her first communion then you should begin thinking about first communion dresses. The dresses used for first communion are not like standard dresses. The dress is only one of the ways that being received into the church is celebrated and made into a special day. This is an essential step because the first communion is along the path of being confirmed as a member of the church.

Because this day is so important, little girls are often dressed in special first communion dresses, which are always white, as a symbol of purity. The dresses can be fancy in an outward fashion by the addition of lace or flowers. However, they can also be fancy in a simplistic sophisticated sense. Before you start to look for dresses be sure that you check the church rules regarding the style regulations because some churches may have different traditions. A general requirement is often that the dress must reach a length to the knees at least. This occasion traditionally does not allow dresses that fall anywhere above the knees. Dresses should also have sleeves for most churches. Sometimes finding dresses with sleeves in the Spring can be difficult so shawls and cover-ups are often acceptable in these cases.

While this occasion can be very exciting for you, your daughter is the primary focus of the day. So before you get too excited about picking a dress for her, keep in mind that it is her special day too. But you likewise should not let your daughter get too engrossed in the dress picking process. The two of you should make rules about the price beforehand and should also discuss style rules that must be followed. Apart from this, you should make the preparation process and the actual day something that your daughter will remember as a happy memory for the rest of her life.

In addition to purchasing the dress for first communion, there are also some accessories that might be required. Occasionally white veils and gloves are accessories that are needed. Some churches will be extremely specific as to what they want for these events while others will be more lax on the items. You should also remember to not ignore purchasing special white socks and white shoes.

Other accessories that are frequently purchased for first communion are given as gifts. A bible, cross necklace, and a rosary are often among the most common gifts given. Oftentimes, large family celebrations are also held to commemorate the important day. Just keep in mind that this exciting day is one that you want your daughter to remember as a positive experience. This indicates that you should focus on your daughter and make sure her day is a special one.
