first communion in the nineteenth century: what does fashion look like?

It's May, which is associated with the celebration of First Holy Communion in the ecclesiastical tradition and rites. Today, preceded by strenuous preparations, this day is usually celebrated solemnly. There are gifts, parties, and festive costumes - in the case of girls, a white dress or a more modest simple alb.

Our victorian first communion costume for halloween.

 We have planned to be a first communion girl from the 19th century. The dress is from 1863, and it is so plain. This dress has ruffles at the bottom, but you have to pleat a strip of fabric, and sewed onto the dress. This dress is hard to make. When we search for truly victorian patterns, we have seen this work dress pattern circa the 1860s. We have picked that dress because this dress is plain and simple.

The ruffle is attached to the bonnet, it has the ribbon that is sewn to it.   This is what the costume looks like: the girl in the middle.
