    How to Choose a First Birthday Dress

    A first birthday dress should look special in photos and still be comfortable for a busy one-year-old. Look for a soft cotton lining, a full skirt that sits nicely when she sits or crawls, and a sleeveless or short-sleeve bodice so she can move her arms freely. Tulle tutu skirts, satin and lace appliqués are classic looks for first birthday parties and cake smash photos.

    First Birthday Dress Size Guide

    Most one-year-olds wear our 9–12 M or 1Y size, and some wear 12–18 M. Choose by her height and chest measurement rather than age alone. If she is between sizes, or you are buying a few weeks before the party, pick the larger size. Every product page shows the sizes in stock and links to our size guide.

    Cake Smash and Photo Shoot Dresses

    For a cake smash, choose a dress with a fluffy skirt and a simple neckline so the cake and her smile stay the focus. White dresses with 3D flowers, like the Elena dress, and bright tulle tutus, like the Diana fuchsia dress, photograph beautifully against balloons and backdrops. White, soft pink and champagne are classic first birthday colors.

    First Birthday Outfits and Baby Dress Sets

    Our baby dresses and baby dress sets are made for little ones from 0 to 24 months and make an easy first birthday outfit. Most of our dresses come with a matching hair accessory, so her look is ready for the party.

    Infant Birthday Dresses (0–12 Months)

    For a half birthday or a monthly milestone photo, our baby sizes start at 0–3 months, with soft linings and gentle fabrics for infants. For the youngest babies, a sleeveless bodice with a short, full skirt is the most comfortable choice.

    Fall and Winter First Birthday Outfits

    For a birthday in the colder months, pair a sleeveless dress with a cardigan and tights, or choose a long-sleeve style such as the Penny sequin dress. Rich colors such as fuchsia, emerald and red feel festive from Thanksgiving through New Year.

    Toddler Birthday Dresses (2T–5T)

    For a second or third birthday, our toddler birthday dresses in sizes 2T to 5T have their own collection, with tulle, satin and brocade styles for 2- to 5-year-olds.
