Commonly Asked Questions
✨ What size should I order for my baby’s 1st birthday?
Our most popular choice for 1st birthdays is the 6–18 month size.
✨ I’m stuck between the 6–18 month and 1–2 year sizes. What do you recommend?
We suggest basing your choice on length, since the waist and bodice straps are very adjustable.
-
For babies who aren’t quite walking yet, the 6–18 month size is usually ideal - it’s a great length for sitting, crawling, and those in-between stages.
-
For taller little ones, or if you prefer a longer fit, the 1–2 year size is a wonderful option.
✨ How do I know if the dress will be too long for my baby?
If your baby is still crawling, shorter lengths (6–18 months) are more practical. For walkers, a slightly longer fit (1–2 years) often looks adorable and still allows for easy movement.
✨ Do your dresses have room to grow?
Yes! Many of our designs feature adjustable straps and flexible waists, so your little one can wear the dress across multiple seasons.
✨ What size should I choose if my baby is in between sizes?
When in doubt, we recommend sizing up. Because the fit is adjustable, a larger size will allow for longer wear.
✨ Are the dresses true to size?
Generally, yes - but since every child grows differently, we recommend checking the measurements we provide and comparing them to your child’s current clothing for the best fit.
✨ Can my child wear the dress more than once?
Absolutely! Our heirloom-quality fabrics are made to last. Many customers size with a bit of extra room so the dress can be enjoyed for birthdays, holidays, photos, and even handed down.
✨ Do you offer custom sizing?
At this time, our sizing runs from newborn to age 10 in standard ranges. If you’re looking for a specific fit, we’d love to help you select the best option based on measurements.
Quick Measuring Guide (At Home!)
For the best fit, grab a soft tape measure (or even a piece of string + ruler) and check these three areas:
-
Chest/Bodice Width
Measure right under your baby’s arms, around the fullest part of the chest. This helps match the bodice fit. This measurement ensures chest coverage. -
Chest/bodice Length
Measure from the collar bone to the natural waist line (usually just above the belly button). Our dresses often have adjustable waists, so this is just a helpful reference. -
Length
Measure from the natural waist line ( usually just above the belly button) down to where you’d like the hem to fall (knee, mid-calf, or longer for a more formal look). This is the most important measurement to consider when between sizes.
✨ Tip: If your baby is between sizes, choose the size that matches your preferred length—our adjustable straps and flexible waists will help with the rest!
