Dresses for the First Communion

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

It’s crazy how time flies, but its that time of year again when we love working with moms all over the country designing truly special dresses for their daughter’s First Communion.  Its such a precious time and we are always honored to be a part of it in some way!

We get a lot of questions about which dresses we recommend and which fabrics, etc.  We have a variety of styles and fabrics to choose from, but the most popular is the classic “Chandra” dress (http://www.kayacollection.com/catalog/catalog/images/105silktafetta.jpg )which has a silk satin bodice, silk dupioni skirt, silk organza overlay, and a wide silk dupioni sash that ties in the back.  The great thing about this dress is that its classic in style but can be styled uniquely to fit the personality of the girl wearing it.  We can add any length sleeve to the bodice, or beading on the sash, or a big silk flower can be pinned on the back.

We are also doing a lot of veils this season.  The veils can be totally customized and the limit is your imagination.  We love adding beading tiara-style or even silk rosettes.  Let us know your suggestions, too.

Be sure to send us pictures of the special day and hope it is one to always be remembered.
