I just finished reading part of a blog and had to go “oh ya!”  It said:

The road to hell is paved with sexy chicks.

That’s profound.

Why did I immediately think of Communion dresses?

Because over the years we’ve talked with so many Nuns and Priests and Communion Directors who told us endless stories of inappropriate dresses on little girls making their First Communion.  They tell of some who have shoulders bare, short skirts, tight dresses - basically the “pop diva gone bad” look.

How shocking!

First Communion is a holy time when a girl is making her sacrament with God!  But we’ve heard these stories from so many places and from such highly reputable people that we know they’re true.  Sad - unfortunate- the minority (hopefully) - but true.

First Communion dresses should be sweet and demure. This doesn’t mean it has to be all ruffles and frills!  But it should absolutely be MODEST in all ways.  It should properly cover the toros completely and be sufficiently long enough that, even if she is up on an elevated platform, she is in no danger of any sort of “reveal”.

That being said, there’s nearly an endless array of choices to pick from that ARE totally appropriate!  And we offer them by the hundreds. 

So - happy shopping!  Let’s just always make sure it’s appropriate for the day.

And with a longer view in mind, let’s teach our children how to respect themselves in public.  If they dress in a way that is tasteful and modest, they will be treated with far more respect.
