surely but the day is not about a nice dress etc, it is about the recieving of Jesus for the first time, what they wear is not an issue. if you want to splash out then fine, but not everyone does and that is fine too
I help run a FHC group and in past yeasr some of the poor girls dresses were so big, they could not kneel afterwards to pray...

Sorry, I think you are wrong.
As adults we know it's all about recieving Jesus for the first time, but you ask any little girl the most important part of the celebration and I bet she will say she is looking forward to wearing a dress!

My point is I do not think a summer dress is appropriate. As ms_newbie has done it is easy to get a FHC dress on a budget.

The two dress and pairs of shoes arrived yesterday. DD is delighted with her dress and shoes.

I took one dress and 1 pair of shoes back and was refunded £67. This means I have paid £50.40 for dress and shoes and have £9.11 validated through quidco. Even if the quidco doesnt pay out I'm really delighted to have only paid £50 for beautiful outfit for DD. I hope others manage to get what they want for reasonable prices.

hi, know this is really late to reply, but am reading through old posts. I'm one of those mums who went a bit ott for both my daughter's fhcs, but in my defence they looked gorgeous, not tarty or too old like some of the dresses but just like the pretty little princesses they are. I did spend too much each time, but I paid in for them at a local shop, then afterwards I got them cleaned and sold them on the next year for about two thirds of the original price. To be honest, they were in such good condition as they were only worn three times, they were like brand new. I know some thought I shouldn't have sold them, but we have the photos and I did wait for almost a year (sold them on a few months before the next year's fhc) so both my little darlings had stopped taking them out of the wardrobe to look at, the novelty had long gone by then!! Just a thought, it might be worth considering instead of using it as a summer dress.

Hi,

E bay is good for communion dress bargains also Melanie Elizabeth do some fantastic white holy communion dresses from £20 and accessories to match. They are based in Birmingham but there is also a website where you can order online. I my daughter's outfit from there last year and paid under £100 for dress, shoes, veil and headdress. Many of the bridal shops were a rip off.

Hey,

It can be difficult trying to find the right communion dress and the right colour as well... there's a massive debate on whether it is OK to wear ivory... personally I think its fine though.
Have a look at lily heritage - they are fairly new and do all special occasion wear for kids. They also do really nice children's accessories as well.
You could also try m&s, although my biggest fear with them is that everyone will end up with the same thing. Hope this helps.
