Communion memory



The young girls, of the 19th century, made their first communion dressed in white : a long dress, a veil and a pretty crown of white flowers.


The crown was made of lightly starched fabric flowers ; the one I found has faded into a delicious ecru.

Also found at a flea market, this one of pink fabric, assembled into a brooch.

Cara,

It is always more interesting, when pictures also tell "a story". Particularly interesting are stories from the past... Thanks! Again, your pictures are really attractive.

Here in Italy your first communion is an important event. At least in the countryside, confirmees are still dressed up, although much more modest than your "illustrations". How about France today?

Bacione, Ingrid

Beautiful roses! It's also a very important event in Poland and children look rather modest... But I think it is good so... Greetings :)
