Where do you buy a communion dress? I have looked all over and any store that has them on line does not carry them in the store any ideas in the metro detroit area?
Go to David's Bridal when they're having a sale.
I found a lovely, simple dress for my middle daughter a couple of years ago online, though, and it didn't cost much. I did a simple Google search for online First Communion dress stores. They'll come up on the same sites you'll find flower girl dresses and range from simple and inexpensive all the way up to fancy, frilly, and costly.
I've seen girls get them at David's Bridal. I plan on making my daughter's. Mine was homemade (though not by my mother.) I plan on continuing that.
Macy's, JcPenney's, Burlington Coat Factory are a few national chains that come to mind.
Likely David's Bridal has some flower girl dresses that would work. And they're not expensive.
Dillards has them, I'm pretty sure. They have Baptismal gowns, and I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the 1st Communion dresses when I got my 2nd daughter's Baptismal gown.
Bigger department stores (even Penneys) usually have them starting in the early spring. Is there a Von Maur by you? They always have a large selection. Bridal stores usually have dresses that can be used as communion dresses and some will even carry extra dresses for this occasion.
Dillard's will have them. You can also look online.
Here we have a store called Catholic Supply. You can also find them at bridal stores. My older daughter was a flower girl in her aunts wedding. We added sleeves, communion dress. Younger daughter liked the dress so much she wore it as well.
Just has to be a white dress with sleeves.
The Nordstrom near us had a nice selection of First Communion dresses (and veils, gloves, etc) when we were there yesterday. I would assume that the Nordstroms in and around Detroit would have them, too.
My sister got my niece's dress at Nordstrom last year. She said there were also some at Macy's.
Go to David's Bridal. They have all kinds of flower girl dresses that can be used for 1st Communion.
I work for the bonton stores, which in your area i think is Persians. Anyway we usually get comunion dresses in the store. But I think you just may be a little early. wait a bit.
Jc penny, Burlington, k mart (may) sears,
I found then at jcpenney and Burlington coat factory.
Saw one at Costco's! Beautiful!
Most major department stores carry them this time of year. They are usually found near the Easter dresses.
the specialty stores that carry them are too expensive. i got my kids' dresses at nordstroms store. went in, tried them on, then ordered online. paid 200 each
Try a bridal store. David's Bridal has many, but you may have good luck at a smaller store closer to you. Also realize Bridal stores don't do cash and carry and they require a couple months to ORDER a dress and then you may have to pay for alterations.
David's is one of the few that has the ability to walk in and possibly walk out with something the same day.
Good luck.
Have you tried December's stores? Look there. They have a huge selection of religious items and I'm sure they have them.
Otherwise, call some of the local Catholic churches/schools and ask.
And second hand stores usually will have stuff like that.

I just got my daughter a beautiful communion dress there. They have everything to go with the dress as well...sweaters, tights, purses, gloves.
Their selection on dresses is huge.
