We review the collections of Aurora Gaviño, Loli Vera, Carmen Raimundo, The closet of Martina and Hortensia Maeso that have paraded in Seville.

The little ones of the house live with hope their years of catechism, but also the preparation of one of the happiest days of their lives, in which they receive their First Communion. The dresses that they will wear are part of this day and they wrap around them the joy of an event in which the girls, dressed in white, confirm their faith before family and friends.

First Communion dresses are part of an economic sector in which girls and mothers decide how it will be and how much can be spent. There are options ranging from 100 euros (such as those of the firm Tizzas in El Corte Inglés) to those of designers such as Aurora Gaviño, well known for her facet in flamenco fashion and brides, which can exceed 800 euros .

There is also the option to buy a second-hand one. Let's not forget that it's a dress that girls only wear once or twice and it's easy to find many options (of different prices and styles) on fashion shopping websites.

These weeks in Seville we have attended several parades of First Communion dresses in which the new trends that we will see in 2018 and the personal bets of the firms have been shown. Loli Vera paraded in the Pasarela del Sur while Carmen Raimundo, Aurora Gaviño and Hortensia Maeso did it in the Petit Style Walking.

«The light of the stars» is the new collection of Aurora Gaviño that works each design in an artisanal way with lace of French origin like alensson, Spanish like valencie, chantilly and Israeli fabrics. «His forms are evasés, frunces little flight in skirts and courts empires, highlighting his particular sleeves with volumes and old lace and dyed manually giving him his so personal and romantic touch where he moves us to that era of romanticism full of magic, light and illusion of all the girls who are stars on the day of their communion », they explain from the signing.

"The truth is that there has been a great evolution in the dress of First Communion, especially in the fabrics, perhaps also to have more signatures and as the celebrations have grown, the costume has become a very special and increasingly important caprice for girls and mothers, "Aurora Gaviño tells us.

It is usual to find more classic collections such as those of the Sevillanas firms Loli Vera and Carmen Raimundo. Their dresses of First Communion are made with lace, tulle, embroidery, plumeti, etc. ranging from nuclear white to slightly more toasted or beige tones.

One of the big bets is the French manga, although there are still some short sleeves. It is a practical matter because if you refresh you do not need to wear a cardigan that would "cover" the upper part of the First Communion dress in some way. Flower belts are also repeated in different shades, embroidered strips, layers, ruffles.

There are also proposals for girls who want to go something different thanks to color. The pink is one of the favorite and can be worn on ribbons, belts, flowers, accessories and even subtly in the dress as in one of the designs of Hortensia Maeso.

And the new collection from El Armario de Martina, a Sevillian firm, shows us the designs of 2018 (also made to measure) with fabrics that go out of common and flax especially, laces in green water, sleeves with steering wheel, floral applications, plumeti, etc. They bet in general for the empire cut for the First Communion dress. We do not forget about children, for those who also have many possibilities.
