Style & Fit Guide

Perfectly tailored Communion Dresses and Suits - made to your child's exact measurements 

Measure your boy to get the perfect communion suit

Height

Have the boy stand on firm flooring against a flat wall, legs straight, looking straight ahead.
Use a flat ruler or book at a right angle with the wall and lower it to touch the crown of his head.
Measure from the floor to this mark with a tape measure and record his height.

Length of trousers

Measure trouser length from your waistline to where you want the pants to end.
Stand straight and run the tape measure along the side of your leg, from waist to ankle or floor, based on your desired pant style.

Length of sleeves

Measure sleeve length from boy’s shoulder to cuff. Start the measuring tape at the seam where the sleeve meets the shirt body.
Measure along the outside of his arm down to your desired wrist position.

Waist

To measure your child's waist, find the narrowest spot on their torso—typically a few inches above the hip bone, near the belly button.
Wrap the tape measure snugly around their waist while they breathe normally.
There's no need to add extra room for comfort since our boys' trousers already have built-in wiggle room and an elasticated back waist for comfort and growth!

Inseam

To measure your child's inside leg, have them wear their school shoes and stand naturally.
Run the tape measure from their crotch to about an inch above the ground where you want their trousers to end.
Ensure the tape is straight and not wrapped around their leg, and avoid pulling it too tight to prevent ending up with uncomfortable trousers.


Measure your girl to get the communion dress of your dream

Height

Have Have the boy stand on firm flooring against a flat wall, legs straight, looking straight ahead.
Use a flat ruler or book at a right angle with the wall and lower it to touch the crown of his head.
Measure from the floor to this mark with a tape measure and record his height.

Length of the dress

To get an accurate measurement for the length of the dress, take your measuring tape and stretch it in a straight line from the high point shoulder down to where you want the dress to end.
This will give you a clear idea of the length you're working with. Ensure the tape is straight for the most precise result.

Waist

To measure your girl's waist, find the narrowest spot — typically a few inches above the hip bone, near the belly button.
Wrap the tape measure snugly around her waist while she breathes normally 

Chest

The chest measurement is taken at the fullest point of a girl's chest, usually around the nipples.
Lift the arms and wrap the tape measure around your child’s back to the front.
Ensure the tape is snug around the chest, but not tight.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE OUR DRESSES AND SUITS

PREMIUM FABRICS

At the heart of every Communion outfit we create is our commitment to quality craftsmanship — and that begins with the fabrics we choose.
We work with only the finest materials to ensure your child not only looks exceptional but feels comfortable throughout their special day.
Superior Atlas – Known for its luxurious sheen and smooth finish, giving the dresses a graceful flow and radiant appearance.
Armani Silk – Lightweight yet durable, it offers a beautiful drape.
100% Cotton and Linen – We use breathable, natural cotton and linen in key design elements to ensure comfort.

Handmade Details

What sets our Communion wear apart is the thoughtful craftsmanship that goes into every design.
Each dress and suit features handmade embellishments — carefully crafted by our skilled artisans to add a personal, elegant touch.
Delicate, hand-formed fabric flowers bring a soft, timeless charm to our dresses.
From dainty back bows to smart suit accents, our hand-tied bows add the perfect blend of tradition and style.

LACES

Italian lace is a popular choice for special occasion dresses due to its look, feel, and touch.
It helps create elegant, flattering, and unique communion outfits, ensuring your child stands out while feeling confident and beautiful.
Additionally, lace doesn't crease, keeping the girl looking fresh from morning to the early hours.

Expert Tailoring

Every First Communion dress and suit are professionally tailored by skilled sewers who specialize in formal children’s wear, ensuring every piece meets the highest standards of fit, comfort, and elegance.
At the core of our process are our professionally made patterns—designed, tested, and perfected to provide a flawless fit for both girls and boys.
Before production begins, each pattern is carefully reviewed and adjusted to match your child's specific measurements, allowing for a personalized fit that off-the-rack clothing simply can’t offer.

DETAILS

Stitching and seams

Battesimo understands that stitching and seams are crucial for clothing durability. We use reinforced seams, such as flat-felled or French seams, to prevent fraying and enhance longevity.

FINISHING

Battesimo, as a producer of high-quality communion wear, pays attention to details like zippers, buttons, beading, and lining. We use long-lasting, durable zippers that are invisible and help securely unzip the dress, making it easy to wear. 

PATTERNS and CONSTRUCTION

 Our designers create patterns that ensure standard dresses fit perfectly without gathering under the sleeves and lie evenly on the chest. 

CUSTOM MAKING

You can order custom tailoring by providing your child's measurements if they have a non-standard structure. Different body shapes have varying proportions, which helps create well-fitting patterns.
