Communion Gowns: Girls In White

There are, traditioally speaking, exactly three occasions in a western world girl's life for which she is allowed and expected to wear an extravagant white gown:  baptism, first communion, and her wedding.  Since there are only three, it's important that they all be as beautiful and memorable as possible. 
Whether you prefer an elegantly simple high-necked satin princess cut, the most ornate beaded ball gown number you can find, or any gorgeous style in between, you'll be sure to get her a top quality first communion dress if you order from Sophia's Style.  Every communion gown we carry was made with extra special care and attention.  Our selection is all hand-picked by parents who know from experience how important quality really is when it comes to special occasion clothing for their children. 

Now don't forget (as if any self-respecting reader of fashion blogs ever would) accesories are what makes an outfit.  We've got a stunning collection of communion headpieces, and not only that, but you can find some ladylike long white gloves that will have her looking like she just stepped out of a Vogue communion editorial.

Joining the Christian Faith | SophiasStyle.com

Do you remember my friend I told you about who adopted two sisters from India a few months ago? The girls have been here for a few months now and are adjusting very well. My friend says they love to sing, dance and even help pick up around the house! Now that they are settling in, their parents are ready for another big step: baptizing the girls into the Christian faith.

My friend and her husband are very excited for this special moment and I know it means a lot to them. I’m so excited for them and I know I can help them find a beautiful christening dress for each girl from SophiasStyle.com. Of course, since the girls are 5 and 7 years old they won’t wear traditional christening gowns meant for babies. Instead, they’ll wear beautiful white special occasion dresses and 1st communion dresses that will be just perfect for their baptisms.

It’s so great to watch my friend and her family become closer to the girls each day. They are truly a beautiful new family and for sure I’ll be there for this blessed event in their lives!

Create Beautiful Memories With Her Communion Dress

I keep a special picture on top of my dresser that I look at every day. It is special to me for many reasons, but like with most pictures, its real importance comes from the people in the photograph.

I stand sandwiched between my grandma and grandpa, smiling a gap-toothed grin at the camera. My hands are folded in reverence and I’m wearing my first communion dress. It’s April of 1995, the day of my First Holy Communion. It was one of the last special events my grandparents were alive to witness. They both died shortly after the picture was taken. I remember that day well and looking at the photo every morning as I get ready for my day brings a smile to my face.

I often wonder what my relationship with my grandparents would be like now. I see the mature, adult relationship my fiancée has with his grandparents and sometimes feel badly that I missed out on that with my own grandma and grandpa. Still, I am grateful to have my special picture.

A girls First Holy Communion is a big event in her life. And just like me, she’ll have memories of it for the rest of her life. There are a lot of special elements to this big day. SophiasStyle.com has dozens of beautiful communion dresses that are perfect for the occasion. You might also celebrate with a cake and gifts. Just don’t forget the most important element – celebrating with the people you love most.

What do you remember about your first communion?

Help Her Prepare For Her First Communion

A girl’s first communion marks a turning point in her life. It signifies that she is truly growing up, not only in her faith but as a young lady too. Even after all of these years, I still remember the day I made my first communion. I also remember the beautiful first communion dress I was wearing. One of the most important elements of the ceremony is, of course, her communion dress. It is typically white and should be more than just your average, everyday dress. It should be a garment that makes you say “Wow! This dress is truly for a very special occasion!”


SophiasStyle.com has dozens of communion dresses that fit the bill! Our dresses make young girls feel beautiful and add to the significance of the sacrament. We also carry plus size communion dresses, so we have a dress for every girl, not matter her size, shape or personality! Don’t forget accessories such as communion veils and gloves to complete the look.


If you are a grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend or any other person who is part of this important celebration,you also want to find the perfect gift to help her mark this blessed event in her life. A great first communion gift is a rosary, perhaps one that is more grown up and sophisticated than plastic rosary beads. Another idea is a statue of her favorite saint, or a saint she is named after. Finally, a prayer book or a guide makes a great gift because it will help her gain a better understanding of the sacrament she is taking part in.


Do you have any other ideas for first communion gifts? We’d love to hear them!

Girls Christening Gown | How to Properly Care For and Keep that Treasured Girls Outfit | Sophia's Style

Ok..you've made that huge investment in a once-in-a-lifetime girls Christening Gown. We all know that now, more than ever, you want to protect your investment. You have watched,with pride, as your daughter or granddaughter was christened in a beautiful beaded and sequined dress. You have pictures to remember that day, but you want more. There are some simple steps to follow that will help you care and preserve that dress to pass on to your grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on.

Step 1...Have the dress professionally cleaned as soon as possible to remove any food, drinks or body oils. The longer these things are left on the gown, the harder it is to remove them later. Be sure that any sequins or beads on the dress can survive the cleaning process.

Step2..Stuff bodices and curved areas of the dress with acid-free white tissue paper. This will prevent these areas from becoming creased over time.

Step3..Fold the dress carefully and wrap it entirely, using the same acid-free tissue paper that was used to stuff the curved areas.

Step4...Place the dress in an acid-free, archival safe cardboard box or bag. Sophia's Style offers a great preservation bag that will fit this purpose perfectly.

Step5..Keep the dress stored in a cool, dry location. Dampness and heat can ruin the dress over time.

Remember to pass on these instructions when you pass on the dress. These steps will need to be repeated at each wearing. This small investment of time will help preserve your girls Christening gown or special outfit for generations to come.

Plus Sized First Communion Dresses

My niece was going to be having her first communion and we were puzzled as to what to dress her in. She's a plus size girl and those beautiful, pristine first communion dresses usually stopped at size 14. I visited Sophia's Style Boutique and found that they had many plus sized first communion dresses and accessories like veils, gloves and even shoes. Their selection was great and the prices were very reasonable. We purchased the dress and cannot wait to see her stand before her family and congregation during this very momentous occasion.
I recommend visiting Sophia's Style Boutique to purchase those plus sized first communion dresses and accessories. This holy day will be highlighted by my niece's gorgeous dress.
