April's Fine Baby Apparel

It seems that girls get all the attention for Communion apparel but your little boy will look great too in his new blue suit. Most boys are wearing blue suits with white ties and white shirts. You can also wear a white suit with a white tie and white shirt.

The first thing to do is to decide the style suit you prefer. There are double breasted, single vested and three piece suits that come with a vest. You need to try on the jacket first. It is difficult to tailor a jacket if it doesn't fit. Make sure the shoulders fit and the jacket buttons. It should be comfortable. The sleeves can be shortened, but the buttons may have to be moved. You shouldn't let out the sleeves to lengthen them because it is hard to get rid of the crease at the original sleeve length.

Next, try on the pants. Make sure they fit in the waist. At Aprils Fine Baby Apparel, in Bellmore Village, all the pants have elastic waists as well as belt loops. This makes it easier to accomodate all different waist sizes. Don't worry too much if the pant legs are too long; it is simple to have them shortened.

You will then need a shirt. Often, you will need the next larger size shirt, depending on the brand. April\'s offers a white shirt, tie and suit package for a savings over separate purchases. In addition you may want a belt, socks, armband, missal and rosary beads.

While in Bellmore Village take some time to check out the other nice shops.
