We do not commonly see boys wearing tunic outfits for First Communion. We have, however, noted a few examples in the photographic record. They were usually white tunics with fancy trim. This usually occurred during the 1900s-10s when tuncics were very popular for younger boys. The tunic was a versitile garment. We see many boys wearing them as a play suit. But they could also be worn for dressing up. Often the same garments coud be used. There were, hwevr some tunic suits that were especially for dressup. These were primarily white tunic suits. And these white tunic suits were perfect for First Communion. The tunic suits involved could be very plain. But we see some done with fancy lace trim. We note some churches which have all the boys wearing matching white tunic suits. We do not see boys wearing white suits for First Communion in the 19th century. This changes with the turn-of-the 20th century.
