First Communion dress styles: How to determine the best one for your daughter

Some girls have very specific ideas on what they want their Communion dress to look like. Others have an image in their head but may be unable to articulate their vision until they see it on a store rack. Others are open to all ideas and thoroughly enjoy the overall shopping experience.

Just like all young girls share common characteristics but have striking differences that make them unique individuals, so it is with communion dresses. Before you head out to the shops, educate yourself on the various Communion dress styles you will see once there: Princess Communion dresses, Classic Communion dresses, Vintage Communion dresses and Modern Communion dresses

Princess dreams

The ballerina style Communion dress is well known by the full skirt that young girls can twirl around in. It makes them feel like a princess on their special day.

Designer Christie Helene’s Signature Collection highlights classically-styled Communion dresses with full skirts in ballerina lengths. They are elegant in appearance and often feature a fine net tulle under-skirt to give the skirt even more fullness for an angelic, sweet look. This style is very popular for 2015 First Communion dresses and is perfect for the “girly-girl.”

Classic styling

Clean, simple lines are what make a communion dress style a classic. Because of this, it continues to be the most popular style of communion dress without question. The classic communion dress often has sleeves. Its full skirt typically settles at mid-calf, or tea-length and the overall design is timeless. This dress is well suited for a girl who isn’t fussy about her appearance, wants to be comfortable during the ceremony and celebration that follows or who wants to express her personality through unique accessories instead of the dress.

Vintage trends

Vintage-inspired Communion dresses highlight classic styles, lace overlays and whimsical touches for a modern take on a traditional dress. Emmerling’s collection, for example, includes the Retro Flapper Girl Communion Dress, which is inspired by the 1920s flapper style. It features a straight neckline with cap sleeves and a long skirt that flares out at the bottom with a layer of tulle ruffles.

Other designers are highlighting dresses features from the 1950s, including Isabella Communion Dress Collection, Colleen Communion dress designed with a Peter Pan collar and flared, knee-length dress skirts. These Communion dresses are great for girls who want a dress similar to the one their mother or grandmother wore or who embrace retro styles in their everyday clothing.

Modern, unique details

Many young girls will lean toward a more modern style of communion dress that mimics current fashion trends.

Linzi Jay Communion dress collection, for example, features Kylie and Modern, both modern stile Communion dresses with full A-line Skirts that can be made fuller with an additional petticoat.

Couture Communion dresses - For those who like colour choices, Nicki Macfarlane’s First Holy Communion collection includes Communion dresses that are available in traditional white, antique ivory and a myriad of other hues, including almond.

Modern dresses work well for girls who delight in expressing their unique personality.
