Celebrating a little girl's first Holy Eucharist is an exciting and memorable time for every family, and for many that means choosing a beautiful communion dress for the occasion. Little girls participating in their first communion are expected to be dressed appropriately as guided by the specific requirements of their parish. Although each church will have their own individual guidelines, as a general rule communion dresses are modest, white and sleeved. White communion dresses symbolise purity and many parishes will ask the family to consider an age-appropriate outfit that doesn’t distract from the receiving of the sacrament.
Whether your sweet girl is participating in a Catholic, Lutheran or Anglican ceremony, the guidelines of your congregation will determine the style of her communion dress. For some that may mean exploring communion dresses with specific arm coverings, such as wide straps, capped-sleeves or full-length sleeves. In this case, selecting a communion dress tailored in a soft, breathable fabric will be essential for her comfort, no matter the climate.
The length of the skirt may also need to be considered, with many parishes preferring a mid-length or tea-length (falling to the ankle), over a maxi-length communion dress.

Whether the requirement is for formal or traditional dress, or you have the flexibility to explore a more relaxed style, you will find the perfect outfit from our curated collection of magical communion dresses at A Little Lacey.
