Getting a First Communion dress is something that most families plan plenty of time to accomplish.

But families with boys making their First Communion often don’t realize the need to shop early.

The biggest issue is when they need either white pants or a white suit.

Why?

Because manufacturers only order so much white fabric - then cut and sew so many white pants and white suits - and that’s it for the year.  There won’t be any more.

How does this affect families with boys making their First Communion?

The longer you wait to look for white pants or a white suit - the less likely it is to be available.  Yes, every year in March - April - May - June we hear from panic-stricken parents desperately trying to find white pants and white suits.

Thing is this - if they’re no longer available for the year, that’s it.

And they go FAST.

Folks with boys who need larger sizes including Husky sizes seem to be the last ones to contact us for some unknown reason.  Do you have ideas or suggestions why?

Bottom line is that we ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHOP EARLY.  Get what you need and avoid all stress so you can focus on the importance of this very special event in your child’s life.

Getting the right clothes shouldn’t be an issue.  Don’t let time pass by unnoticed and suddenly create a crisis for you.

Find terrific choices in suits - separates and tuxedos for boys in our Boys Suits & Tuxedos Boutique.

Of course - not every boy will be wearing white.   It is always good practise to shop early, though.

Can a First Communion dress double as a flower girl dress?  Or the reverse?

Absolutely!  There’s no doubt about it!

It is very popular for a flower girl to wear a white dress.  It can be accented with a color to coordinate with the wedding party in several ways. See “Simple Tips to Coordinate Your Flower Girl Dresses“.

This only works if the bride is wearing a white dress, of course.  If she is wearing an off-white color (or a silk dress, which is always a shade darker than bright white), she won’t want her flower girls in a white dress.  Whoever is in the darker shade will look dingy - and you certainly don’t want it to be the bride!

Is there actually a trendy Communion dress for the fashioneista?

Yes — there are definitely some great choices in our Modern Communion Dresses Department!

Some young ladies are becoming quite sophisticated these days and we have some marvelous choices for them!

They’re yours for the asking!

First Communion dress shopping has definitely started!

Kudos to our early birds - they are assured of getting exactly the style and size they want and delivered in plenty of time to avoid nervous frustration!

One Communion dress I really want to spotlight today is ALG-DR1120.  This dress is elaborate and gorgeous.  We put this in the “Traditional Communion Dresses” department.  It is the PERFECT dress for some . . . but it definitely is not for everybody. 

Why do I spotlight it right now?

Because this gorgeous cutwork satin gown sells out quickly and, once it’s gone - it’s gone for the rest of the year.  Why?  Once they use up the fabric that was ordered (it takes lots of time to get that fabric made), they just plain can’t make any more.

So if you like traditional, “little bride” and/or elaborate white dresses - be sure to check out Communion dress #ALG-DR1120 as soon as possible!

When does shopping begin for First Communion dresses, veils, accessories - or suits for the boys?

ANSWER:  Right now!

Yes, that’s right - shopping for First Communion has begun.

New styles will be arriving in a HUGE array very shortly.

Why shop so soon? It’s simple - you will have the biggest selection of communion dresses and communion suits available anywhere.  Communion veils & headpieces, too.

As the season progresses, you will have less and less selection.

What else?

Timing.  Get it early and relax.  It’s done.  You have it in plenty of time for his/her First Communion - for portraits, etc.

Wait, and you will be worried and anxious about getting it on time.

What’s more - the later you order, the longer it will take.  Why? Because it takes longer and longer to fill an order during the peak of the biggest season of the year (it’s also Flower Girl Dresses season).

We’re the specialists for First Communion planning, having done it since 1993!  We’ve seen the joy and the celebration — and the anxiety and disappointment when famlies have waited too long or ordered too late.

Don’t be one of them . . . shop early!
