Communion outfit help please

It's my dd's first communion soon and she's refusing to wear a dress. I'm fine with this and thought a white jumpsuit would be a good substitute. I found this one in Monsoon but her size (9-10) is out of stock. www.monsoon.co.uk/sequin-cape-sleeve-jumpsuit-8181682625.html

Please please please help me find an alternative or even the same but second hand.

I’m currently shopping for my sons first communion and found this company that also do a range of girls suits. Not white but not sure if that matters to you, this burgundy one is gorgeous.

I'd love that for myself! I'd prefer something white for dd if possible. What's tge quality of Shein like? I saw this although its a bit casual.

It looks like it would crease really badly. I’ve never bought from shein but think it’s a Chinese import so would imagine delivery time could be weeks and returns impossible. (Based on experience of other similar sites.)

Shein quality is hit and miss. Can be great, and can be like net curtains. Check the fabric it's made of. They usually say. Delivery does take a couple of weeks and I've never bothered to return anything because its so cheap to start with.

How about this with a little cardi/bolero type thing over the top? The good thing with this is, she could wear it all summer as well, so not just a one wear type item.

Well it was but they still have 9-10 available

The one in next is lovely. My colleague's daughter wore a very pale blue suit with teddy girl hair and looked lovely and very suitable.
