Dunnes stores communion dresses

[wildflowersdontcarewheretheygrow]

Does anyone have any idea when the communion range hits the rails in Dunnes?
The website just says early Feb and lists the selected stores. There's one nearest to me is 2hrs drive so I'll need to plan the trip up.
I know it sells out quick! The ranges are so much more reasonable than the dress shops.

Last Saturday was the launch date in store.

I was in a big store last Sunday and they were all in stock. It was busy.

They are already in. However, just to let you know some boutiques are not as expensive as you think. I have had 2 daughters make communion in the last 3 years and spent less than 400e on kitting them out, from a local boutique. They each had a new dress, shoes, jacket, socks and a bag. Shared the tiara.

Thanks both! I'd better get up there this weekend! :-)

I saw them being put out on Tuesday in my local Dunnes . Ring the individual store you are planning to visit and ask if they have the full stock in. The dresses this year are absolutely stunning

Out of curiosity as I've no skin in the game, I've just had a look at the dresses online, and my goodness they are beautiful and very tasteful. Only €130 too.

Dunnes dresses are about €100ish I kitted my daughter's out in half what you've paid

Fair enough but my point is you can get dresses in boutiques for less than 150e. I know dunnes dresses are cheaper. But some of them in dunnes are not that much cheaper.

Also that's serious going if you kitted out 2 girls for 200e. Fair play.

I was in Dunnes today and the dresses were lovely.
I thought they were €130.
My girls are long past First Communion
