1. Out with excesses
Do not dress up brides in baroque dresses and lavish fabrics. Girls must maintain their innocence.
2. New textures
To transfer elements of “street wear” such as cotton, knitwear and linen to communion but without becoming casual. That is, maintain elegant silhouettes but apply relaxed fabrics.
3. Movement

4. The choice
The dress or suit must be chosen by the child himself, he is the protagonist of the day. The objective is that they feel comfortable and identified with their clothing. How do you know if it is the right suit or dress? When the child is in front of the mirror, try it on and smile.
5.Out makeup
Do not make up girls, bet on beauty without additives. From innocent freckles to natural blushing will suffice.
6. Recycle
Look for suits with reusable elements. It is important to extend the life of the dress. On the one hand, given the investment it represents and, on the other, because the child’s bond with the costume will be greater.
7. Bows
It is essential to make a good bow, not too big or without strength. “A poorly made bow can ruin the image or the first impact of the suit.”
8. Cardigan or cardigan
You always have to have “a knitted bolero for when it gets cold”. It is the perfect complement for the mid-season “but it must be in accordance with the colors and the range of the dress or suit.”
