What is a baby dress?

Baby dresses are one-piece outfits with a skirt. Many come with matching bloomers, which are short pants that cover the diaper.

How dresses help

  • One piece makes a full outfit.
  • Bloomers keep the diaper covered.
  • Sold for everyday wear and for dressier days.

What to look for

  1. Dresses with matching bloomers cover the diaper.
  2. Snaps at the shoulder or back make dressing easier than over-the-head styles.
  3. Sizes vary by brand. Many brands size by weight and height, not age. See each brand's sizes
