What is your DS wearing for first Holy Communion?

[geogteach]

Trying to sort out something for DS.He has a pale linen suit from Autograph at M and S as he is going to be a page boy later in the summer. I would like him to wear that but I can't find a shirt I like, think White may be a bit odd with the suit but can't find much else.

Unbleached cotton shirt? (but this one only goes up to age 6-7 so won't work if he's on the larger side)

my DS had his 2 weeks ago and wore a grey waist coat and trouser set from BHS and white shirt, give me 5 mins and i'll upload pic

on profile now

I know the dilemma! I bought ds2 a pale linen jacket in the sale at John Lewis for his First Communion and had quite a time buying jacket and shirt to complete the outfit. Eventually spent a fortune on smart navy trousers and a Burberry shirt in a an off-white, biscuit and navy check but it wasn't cheap! What about a pale blue shirt? Benetton also had some nice shirts which would go with those colours. Or a linen shirt from Monsoon? They have some cream and natural coloured ones usually. However, I think they only go up to age 6-7 so depends on how tall your son is.

In the absence of a dd in the nickchick house,my 2 eldest received their first holy communion at the same time, but all my 3 boys wore a bespoke black 3 piece suit with shirt and tie (red tie for the eldest 2).

To make up for the lack of white lace I wore a pink trouser suit .

Thanks for all the ideas, alot of stuff seems to end at 6-7 which doesn't help. He is not enormous but is already 8. It is so much more obvious what girls should wear!
any more tips gratefully received.

the suit my ds wore goes up to 15 yrs plus and was not expensive at all , my ds is nearly 9, i hope you find something and have a lovely day
