Discount retailer Aldi is to stock its own range of First Communion dresses.

The supermarket is to offer two different designs and accessories including shrugs, handbags and gloves.

The dresses are available from Sunday March 16th at all stores but stocks will be limited.

Aldi says the dresses will cost €24.99.

Speaking about the dresses Aldi Ireland’s Group Buying Director Rob Farrell said: “Celebrating First Communion is a rite of passage that can be an expensive time for families in Ireland, with everything from outfits to food and entertainment to cater for.

We guarantee our Communion dresses won’t be beaten on price and provide the best value in Ireland for parents this year.”
