Online shopping for your daughters Communion dress is convenient for so many reasons, yet many mums and dads still get stressed about purchasing a Communion dress that holds so much emotional significance to them online.

Stop worrying!

You can create a special memory with your daughter and purchase the Communion dress of her dreams from an online retailer such as www.firstholycommunionday.co.uk. 

So, get comfy in your pajamas, cuddle up together on the sofa and get ready to have fun (yes, fun!) shopping online.

Stressor 1: Too many options. With a seemingly endless supply of Communion dresses available online from retailers, Debenhams, John Lewis, etsy, gumtree, ebay, individual sellers and independant retailers, it is completely understandable how easy it is to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices of Communion dresses offered online.

• The stress reliever – Narrow down your Communion dress choices right away. If the designer is important to you and your daughter, limit your search to two or three designer Communion dresses. If price is a consideration, don’t even take a peek at any Communion dresses over your budget. If your daughter wants a specific Communion dress style, like a princess Communion dress, type that Communion dress style in the search facility on website or into the search engine and start from there. The point is to not browse aimlessly from Web site to Web site getting lost in a digital abyss.

Stressor 2: Finding a reputable online Communion dress retailer. You want a Communion dress retailer you can depend on if you have a question or problem with your order. Beware of  company websites that display photos from real designers but the Communion dress that you get is not identical (Rosa Clara, Joan Calabrese and Sweetie Pie seems to be popular Communion dresses that are copied)
The Communion dress that you will receive is a cheap replica with lower quality materials and sometimes variations from the image shown, as these companies will state in t&c's that as the Communion dress is handmade the Communion dress you will receive will be different to the Communion dress shown with up to 20% variations.  You may get a beautiful Communion dress, but it probably won't be the Communion dress you are expecting.  Ask yourself if it's worth the gamble.

• The stress reliever – Order from an online Communion dress retailer that also has a brick-and-mortar store. This way can bring in your receipt and talk in person to someone if necessary.

We have recently heard customers asking if we sell Nectarean Communion dresses, we have not heard of these Communion dresses,  the website that is selling these Communion dresses has a UK domain, but advises that their factory is located in Suzhou, China, so we would recommend that you ask questions before purchasing.

Stressor #3: The perfect fit. It’s true, by Communion dress shopping online you won’t be able to feel the fabric or see how it looks on. There just is no way to get the Communion dress through the computer screen to try it on.

• The stress reliever - Take accurate measurements. Numbers don’t lie. Take a flexible tape measure and measure her hips, waist, bust and length while she is wearing only her undergarments or tight-fitting clothing such as a leotard. Compare these measurements to the specific designer’s Communion dress measurement chart. If everything lines up, you should have little worries about the fit. Images shown on websites are for illustration purposes, unless the product page states the height of the girl and age of Communion dress that the girl is wearing, do not expect the Communion dress to look the same on your little girl.

Stressor 4: Paying for shipping. If your budget is tight, it is easy to see why it makes no sense to shop online. Shipping expenses generally can’t be avoided. However, if the local Communion dress shops are out of stock on her dream Communion dress or their Communion dress prices are out of your range, shipping seems like a small price to pay.

• The stress reliever - Search for the deals. Many online retailers will heavily discount their stock of last year’s Communion dresses by putting them on clearance. There is nothing wrong with these Communion dresses and to be honest, most of the time there is only slight variations in style from the previous season. Basically, no one will be able to spot your daughter wearing “last year’s model.” Look for the clearance link in the online menu of choices. Also search for online coupon codes by plugging in the name of the Web site you wish to purchase from in a search engine along with the words “coupon” or “code.”

Stressor 5: On-time delivery. Will the Communion dress arrive ontime - This is only going to be a problem if you are cutting it too close to the First Holy Communion date.

• The stress reliever – Plan ahead. Before you plug in your payment information, click on the shipping deadlines and return policy. If there is even a little bit of doubt if the Communion dress will arrive on time as promised, opt for the premium shipping – the extra peace of mind is sure to be worth the additional money.

Stressor 5: Denying yourself and your daughter a memorable Communion dress shopping experience. As long as you’re having fun while browsing through your options, she will fondly remember shopping for her Communion dress.

• The stress reliever – Give her your full attention. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by the phone, housework or younger siblings. Give her control of the computer mouse and ask her opinions. Take her out for lunch or dinner afterwards.
