Communion Dresses

One of our busiest times of the year starts in April when customers start browsing for their communion dresses. We do notice different trends in styles depending on what part of the country your church is located. In the west dresses are usually selected as 2 piece dresses with a removable jacket for warm weather events. Communion dresses are selected with soft breathable materials such as chiffon and beautiful crystal organza. In the North East we see styles in the old traditional Irish and Italian gowns that often look like full miniature brides. Heavy wedding quality matte satins are selected as March, April, and May are usually still chilly.



Dresses range from very simple to very lavish. A simple dress can come together nicely with the proper accessories. A satin pocket book, communion veil and pair of white gloves will make any plain white dress into a dainty formal occasion dress.
Don't over look the possibility of using her communion dress for multiple purposes.
By selecting a dress with a removable sash you can always accessorize a different color sash later for her piano recital, or a christmas party.
