This.
That little girl had great difficulty in walking in that absurd dress - never mind when she was in the Chapel and had to walk up the few 'stairs' on to the platformed altar - I was waiting for her going on her neck. No wonder the other little girls in their more traditional white Holy Communion dresses stood there watching her,with big grins on their faces. She looked ridiculous. The parents appear to have forgotten that it's a Holy Communion and not some bizarre and inane US style beauty pagent.
If ever there was a way to single out a child and make them look very different from their classmates and help ostracise them - this was the perfect way to do it.
