Chloe’s First Holy Communion Dress from Mother’s Wedding Dress

White Embroidered Communion Dress Recycled Made from Wedding gown flower girl full skirt pink floral

This was one spe­cial dress to make! 

Not only was this dress made from her moth­er’s wed­ding dress/skirt, I was also a brides­maid in the wedding!

When Chloe arrived for her first fitting/planning ses­sion in Decem­ber, her mom arrived with plans to cre­ate a less poofy A‑line pleat­ed skirt dress. (A design you often see for First Holy Com­mu­nion dresses.)

But these plans were quick­ly nixed, when Chloe and her sib­lings spun and danced around in the sam­ple poofy tulle skirts and dress­es in my studio. 

Chloe con­vinced us to make the dress big­ger and the skirt cir­cle cut (for spin­ning purposes)!

Keep­ing the full hem of the skirt was also not a bad idea since I did not have to cut the beau­ti­ful embroi­dery along the hem of her moth­er’s dress.
