It’s that time of year again. The First Holy Communion season means that sweet white dresses are selling out all over the country.
If you’re looking for some (divine) inspiration before you hit the shops, check out our five favourite communion dresses:
This full-length dress (IS17-358) is from Special Day’s Isabella collection, with stockists all over the country. The dress features traditional short sleeves with a satin bodice, ribbon hem tulle skirt, a satin ribbon waist bead embellished bow and long tails at the front.
