The influence of Strictly Come Dancing is very evident in the Holy Communion range at Klassy Kids in Cross Street this season.
Glamorous full skirted creations are all the rage offering style and contemporary chic. Designers Stardust specialise in dresses embellished with sequins, pearls and diamanté which often come in raw silk. Simpler styles are worn with sweet bolero jackets. The brand continues this theme with dressy organza and satin dresses, some with layers of net underskirts for dramatic effect.
The Olivia K label offers more traditional creations. The empire line with its higher waistline is a popular choice in white. It sometimes comes in pure silk and includes adornment in the form of origami such as flowers and trellis detail.
Boys’ Holy Communion wear offers plenty of choice from very formal to smart casual. There are complete suits by Paper Moon and Whoopie ranging from plain navy single-breasted blazers with matching trousers to double breasted nautical style navy blazers with brass or silver buttons. The latter can be teamed with matching trousers or contrasting tailored trousers in beige.
