Christian Expressions Cranston, Rhode Island

I know you are probably wondering why I am writing about a store in Cranston, R.I. on my Connecticut blog. Sometimes a store is just so special that I feel it deserves to be mentioned and after all Cranston is not that far from the Connecticut border. Christian Expressions is the go to place if you are looking for a First Communion dress or christening outfit. 




It is about an hour and a half from Middletown, Conn. to Cranston, R.I. Located on Phenix Rd, the shop is in the rear of a strip mall on the second floor. Don't let the exterior of the building put you off, it is what is inside that counts. 

We made an appointment like you would at a bridal salon and actually arrived a little early. Walking into the room filled with dresses was even more overwhelming than we expected. It was like First Communion on steroids in a really wonderful way. 

The owner and staff are so helpful. They know what will suit the body style of the girl who the dress is for and they listen. My granddaughter tried on six dresses and loved every one and the sixth was so perfect that she didn't want to try on any more. 

Then it is time for accessories and they stock them all, tiaras, veils, gloves, shoes and even tights. By the time we left, Syd was prepared for what will be her special day and she thought she looked like a princess. We thought that she did too. 

If you can't get to Cranston, Christian Expressions does a very brisk online business.
