What Type Of Cardi Etc?

[rockyracoon]

Bought this for daughter to wear to a First Communion in May. I think she'll need something to cover her arms as the do is in Ireland. Any ideas on what type of cardi?

Blimey, Rocky.....First Communions have changed since my day....I'd do it again to wear that.....but wouldn't spoil it with a cardi....I'd search out a really floaty shawl/stole.....x

Thanks all, the dress is so fussy, it's difficult to match anything up with it. In the photo the colour behind the blue is actually nude rather than white. I think a shawl/wrap type thing might be the way to go.

Short innit?

Who else opened the link expecting to see some demure white lacy affair :-) I've never been confirmed so don't actually know much about it.

[rockyracoon]

It's not as short on her, the models's 5'9", daughter is about 5'4"

[B00]

Haha, gotta admit Prudie I did, hence my "short" comment, was a bit taken aback by it- it is a lovely dress mind.

I always assumed communion dresses were white and covering 'stuff'!

[rockyracoon]

It's not her Communion, she's a guest.

That's what I was hoping you'd say Rocky.

[Prudie]

Ahh rocky, that makes sense. I do think a pashmina/shawl thing might be easier to find.

[gness]

Ahhh....thought it was her First Communion, Rocky.....had visions of the priest's eyes popping out.....☺

[AlwaysConfused]

it's a lovely dress. I think it would look better with a short white blazer rather than a cardi

Ahhhh!

That makes more sense!

Apologies Rocky, wasn't knocking the dress, as I said it's lovely. I just wondered at it's suitability for a communion I thought your daughter was taking.

My Granddaughter makes her First Communion in June - this is top of her wish list.
