Thistles 'n Things
This is a small sampling of the dozens of styles that are available at the shop.
Each little girl has a personality all her own,
and we offer a range of dresses to make
"her" personality and individual look come
alive…like a storybook dream come true.  
We painstakingly shop for quality in all the
dresses we offer in our shop.  They must
meet the same standards that we offered
in our own collection years ago.  
When we first introduced First Communion
dresses at  Thistles 'n Things, we designed
and hand made them ourselves.  We have
finally found four manufacturers who live
up to our standards.
They must not only look pretty, but be made
with attention to detail and workmanship
that we demand.  A dress worthy of passing
down over the years or maybe just down to
the little sister right behind her in age.
We make a point to have a selection of
dresses that are made to fit both the
bigger girls and the tiny ones. We
regularly carry
sizes 4 to 16 and
8 1/2 to 161/2.
We then show you several complimenting
headpieces or veils, and finish the look with
bouquets, gloves, petticoats, sweaters,
jackets, shawls, purses, socks, tights, shoes.
All sales are final
We give each child a one hour appointment to find the right dress and we make sure it fits properly.  
Our dress collection ranges in price from $85
to $350
*** Most Important of all ***
We keep a DRESS REGISTER,
so that we absolutely will not sell
your dress to any other little girl in
her First Communion Class.
