For that first trip to Grandma's house, you will want your little cupcake looking her very best.


For winter, long-sleeved, cotton fleece baby dresses are especially comfortable for babies. Matching footed leggings complete this fashionable baby ensemble. Buy a couple more pairs of matching leggings to make this outfit versatile and practical.

Christmas and other holidays present many adorable choices for baby dresses. A long-sleeved, velvet-topped Christmas dress in red and white is a perfect choice for dressing your little darling. A white attached skirt and frilly overskirt make this a dressy dress indeed. Adding a matching headband along with red or white tights will make your Christmas baby the bell of the ball.

Jumper infant dresses are a staple for fashionable baby girls. Start with a red cotton and polyester quilted jumper with black velour detailing. Your little miss will be cute, comfortable, and warm enough to take for a ride. Dressing her in a white, long-sleeved bodysuit with a pair of footed tights will ensure that she's the best-dressed fashionista at the mall.

Springtime and summer are opportunities to dress your sweetie pie in soft cottons and light, feminine newborn dresses. A light peach or lime-colored dress with a full empire, gathered skirt is cute and comfortable to wear. Add smocking and a Peter Pan collar, and you have an adorable, multi-occasioned dress. You can dress your baby in matching baby bloomers to complete this soft, springtime look.

Another pretty summertime dress for your baby girl is a taffeta, sleeveless dress with a gathered skirt. This skirt has an attached overskirt of thin tea netting for effect. A matching, attached taffeta belt completes the overall look of this sweet dress.

Christening gowns are also a major consideration for parents of baby girls. One pretty christening look is a white, puff-sleeved organza gown. These beautiful infant dresses can be handed down as an heirloom. Add a white hat, and the look is completed. This Christening dress can also be sequined to give it a sparkly, iridescent look that photographs nicely. These newborn dresses are usually satin-lined for baby's comfort.

Another popular christening dress is a long, embroidered organza dress with matching bonnet and slip. The bonnet and dress are adorned with sheer white lace and ribbon trim. Add a pair of rumba tights and your baby will be the bell of the baptism. A long slip is usually added for her comfort.

Whether you are dressing your darling in a fluffy snow dress, a warm corduroy jumper or a taffeta christening gown, your primary concern should be your baby girl's comfort. Cuteness is easy to achieve with full skirts, butterfly patterns and other adornments. No matter how you dress your baby girl, she's sure to be the most adorable baby ever.
