Guide to buying the all important communion dress
- Give yourself plenty of time - Don’t leave it too late to start looking around for a dress. Communion dresses tend to only be available for a select period of time - the longer you leave it, the less choice you will be left with at the end.
- Shop around - Go to a variety of different shops or look online so you know what is on offer. Styles & prices will vary from shop to shop. Don’t rush into anything too soon!
- Look at different styles - Pick out different styles for your little one to try on. Often a dress will look very different once it’s off the hanger.
- Check if you need an appointment - If you are considering going to a specialist communion dress shop, you may need to book an appointment.
Where to Buy?

Cost Cutting Tip - Recycle!
Alternatively, if you are lucky enough to still own the Communion Dress you wore as a child then begin your own tradition and turn it into an heirloom. Remember that it is also perfectly acceptable to re-use outfits which were worn by your child's older siblings.
