DS2's First Holy Communion is in June. Mass and then a party in the local hall. All quite casual.

I've seen this dress. I love it๐Ÿ˜ and would wear it on multiple occasions. How can I make it work for this one?

It might be appropriate with the right footwear.
But I think the fabric looks like cheap sweaty/scratchy polyester.

Nearly ยฃ60 for a sweaty plastic dress. Shocking

Itโ€™s too dark for a first holy communion in June and a bit too goth.

Edited to add itโ€™s fine if you are actually a goth and known for that.

Itโ€™s really not suitable to wear to a FHC. Youโ€™ll stick out like a sore thumb.
in saying that, itโ€™s a nice dress, and there are others on the website that are nice. I like this one. Itโ€™s more summery

Thank you for all your suggestions. I love the dresses in your links. But I ruled them out because brown is definitely not my colour and I think burgundy is too dark for early summer.

I know, the irony!๐Ÿ™ˆ
