Shelley - "Wish this vidclip was of better quality.
The thing that really struck me is how MANY kids attend this one church in 1958 who were of First Communion age!"


(right) A good example of a poufy 50s First Communion dress -- the best part is the fact that her petticoat (slip) underneath shows through so well.  Always of interest!

(below) 1965 -- less and less pouf then, but this one 'stands out!'

Alan sends this First Communion

 dresses being worn by what could
be imagined as a boy in a dress

It appears that the 4th girl from the left is wearing a hoop! (Click below for even more focused view!)


The little girl on the right, top of the steps is wearing an especially appealing dress!

 

 

 

Shelley sends this First Holy Communion picture that could very well be imagined that of a boy!
