Sizing is Important
It's important to remember that babies can grow incredibly fast within the first few weeks. If you buy a dress that's too small, it will quickly become too restrictive and uncomfortable. Therefore, it's better to opt for larger sizes that your baby can fit into within a few months.
In general, sizing varies from company to company. And when in doubt, you can make your purchase based on the baby's height and weight rather than age. However, for general size guidelines, you can take a look at this size chart for a better idea of what size might work for her.

Comfort is Key
Two of the most important factors when choosing baby dresses are comfort and safety. When conducting your search, ensure that there aren't any loose buttons or sharp zippers on the dress. Additionally, watch out for any stiff labels that can potentially become an irritant or injure her delicate skin. Look for clothing with a layer of fabric to protect against zippers and rough edges. The most important thing is that your little one remains protected and comfortable in anything that she wears.
In addition to comfort, opt for durable dresses that will remain intact as she plays or crawls about. Clothing that is too fragile will begin to show signs of fading and tearing with repeat washes. And because new babies have sensitive skin, look for cotton or soft cotton blends to keep her feeling as comfortable as she'll look.
Look for Clothing FeaturesTruth is, it can be difficult to dress a wiggling baby. Items like buttons can sometimes be frustrating to undo. That's why it's important to consider how easy it is to put on and take off the dress. To make dressing easier, look for the following features for added convenience:

Consider the Occasion
Now comes the fun part! After all, you don't want your baby to wear a formal lace dress while crawling around outdoors. If you're headed out for a special day at grandma's, sweeten her wardrobe with casual baby dresses. Is the family dressing up for a special event?

Once you've picked out the style and color, consider the season. In colder weather, babies need several layers of clothing to stay warm. Blankets, onesies, and long sleeve shirts provide extra layers to keep the baby warm and comfortable. Socks and booties are also necessary until the baby walks. Alternatively, when the weather is hot, opt for a single layer of loose-fitting, lightweight garments.
