Someone told me that red was a good color as it represents the Holy Spirit. Have you heard of this?I asked this question a couple of weeks ago in a social group, and the reply was ādressy, Sunday bestā. I am being confirmed on March 25th and needed to know. It was also asked in my RCIA class last Sunday, with the same answer. Any color, adult women donāt need to wear white. The children wear white for their First Communion. So, like you say, modesty is expected, but other than that, I havenāt heard any hard and fast rules.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
God Bless

I have and it is actually encouraged by some parishes for their confimands.
I mean, itās not like it wonāt work through hair, because it willā¦ but donāt make the man worry about collapsing your hair or anything.Ha ha.
Even black?
Honestly, I think so. That looks like something one would wear to prom or a red carpet event.
I think Iām still thinking of the equivalent of a childās white confirmation outfit.
Sounds like very good points to consider. I bought a nice 3 piece dressy suit, a pale lime green, kind of an Easter color.Wear good, dressy clothes like youād wear to church, not too short of skirts or pants, not too high of high heels, shoulders covered and not a lot of skin, but nothing youāll have trouble moving in (or will trip over). Bear in mind that whoever confirms you, heāll be looking down at you, so be careful about how your bodice fits!
Also, remember that heāll be laying hands on your head, so this is probably not the time to have a ponytail, bun, stiff hairstyle, or a mohawk way up top of your head.
Unless somebody at your church has some bright idea about having everyone dress in red or white or āflame colorsā, you can wear whatever color you like.
Yes, in white, that would look like something a child would wear to their first Communion. When I was received into the Church, I wanted to go with a predominately white outfit, as is traditional, but did not want something that was completely white as it would look like a wedding dress on an adult. I wore a white, knee length halter dress with light brown and yellow flowers on it, with a light brown quarter length sweater shrug, light panty hose, light brown mantilla. I also wore gold colored flat shoes, normally I would wear heels with a dressy outfit, but I was terrified of slipping and falling on the steps in front of everyone!
I think theyāre referring maybe to the vestment color of red for Pentecost? Thatās the only thing I can think of.Sounds like very good points to consider. I bought a nice 3 piece dressy suit, a pale lime green, kind of an Easter color.
I had not heard of red symbolizing the Holy Spirit.
Awesome. I needed to see some pictures.
Over and under. Itās almost impossible to find a dress that actually has sleeves, so I just had to buy a few shrugs.
Got it. Thanks for sharing.
Ha ha.I was a Ranger Guide when I got confirmed and kind of chickend out by being able to wear uniform which got permission to very easily.
