How to Choose a First Communion Dress in Australia
When Does Communion Season Run in Australia?
In Australia, First Communion ceremonies take place in two seasons — autumn (March to June) and spring (August to November), with the peak season in May and October. This varies by diocese and parish, so always confirm your date early.
How Early Should You Order?
We recommend ordering at least 8–12 weeks before your ceremony date. For the busy autumn season, order by February or March. For spring, order by July or August.
The Three Key Measurements
Always measure your daughter's chest (around the fullest part), waist (narrowest point), and height (barefoot, head to floor). Compare to our size guide and when between sizes, always order the larger.
Choosing a Style
Classic full-length tulle gowns are most popular in Australian Catholic communities, particularly in Italian-Australian, Filipino-Australian, and Irish-Australian families. Shorter tea-length dresses are growing in popularity for smaller, more intimate ceremonies.
