LaPetiteSoeur Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Does anyone in your family sew? My mama made my dress (it still fits me now, and she made it almost seven years ago!), but it was covered by some awful polyester white robe thing. The patterns for dresses like the one you like are really simple (mainly two pieces, front and back, then sleeves, and then the tie thing around the back) and eyelet fabric (which is what I think the hannahlise dress is made of) can be found at Joann Fabrics or really any type of fabric store (although quilting stores may not have eyelet). Good luck! I was my sister's confirmation sponsor last June, and it was wonderful! Our priest friend did hers (and he had done mine) as the bishop didn't come and he didn't appoint anyone, so my parish got special permission to have the pastor do it. It was pretty special. And her name was Rose (of Lima). Who is your confirmation saint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 [quote name='FutureCarmeliteClaire' timestamp='1319294141' post='2325132'] I couldn't find another section of the phorum to post this on, so I figured I would post it here. I am being Confirmed this coming spring/summer (with St. Therese of the Child Jesus as my saint, go figure and I found this dress: [url="http://www.hannahlise.com/embroidered-white-dress/"]http://www.hannahlis...ed-white-dress/[/url] and I love it, but as you can see it is out of stock. I am looking for suggestions for a preferably full-length dress that is white. It can be sleeveless, short sleeved, or long-sleeved because I will wear a sweater. I would be so grateful for any suggestions! Viva Christo Rey! Claire [/quote] [quote name='the171' timestamp='1319343251' post='2325463'] I'm confirming, too.

I found that you are much more able to find long white dresses if you search for "temple dresses" like Mormon ladies wear: [url="http://www.dressedinwhite.com/index.php/woman/dresses.html"]DIW Temple Dresses[/url] [url="http://whiteelegance.com/Women/Temple-Dresses/sc12?page=all&search="]White Elegance Temple Dresses[/url] [url="http://www.ldsapparel.com/gowns.html"]Heavenly Delight Temple Gowns [/url](much more budget friendly) [url="http://www.buylds.com/Dresses-s/67.htm"]Temple Dresses[/url] [url="https://www.celestialfashions.com/LDS_Temple_Dresses.html"]Celestial Fashions Temple Dresses[/url] [url="http://store.lds.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category3_715839595_10557_21021_-1_N_image_0"]LDS Temple Dresses[/url] (VERY budget friendly!)

catherineofsiena Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 [quote]That is great, it is always nice to find people like me out there I am actually contemplating joining a Discalced Carmelite order. I think they are Teresian Carmelites. Yes, I am going to wear a veil, I am thinking white, but I am not sure what color. I veil in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament on a regular basis, so I will do that for Confirmation as well. It is so razzle dazzle that you are wearing a white dress too, are you going to wear a veil? [/quote] razzle dazzle - loveit! yeah i'm going to wear the veil that all of my cousins wore, it's white with a Cross embroidered on the back. thats brilliant - good luck with your discernment- i'm very excited for you!

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Haha the171, razzle dazzle we are having the same Confirmation year! Thanks for the links everybody, I am going to look through them right now. For those of you who asked, my saint is St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, and my sponsor is my CCD teacher from last year who is not your normal CCD teacher, she has been a HUGE blessing in my life and I know God put her in my life for a reason, to be my sponsor, I need her.
