Baby Girls' Skirts: Tutus & Diaper Covers

A baby skirt lives or dies by its waistband, because it has to clear a diaper without digging in. Look for soft, fully enclosed elastic and skip zips or hooks at this age. Most "skirts" under 12 months are really skirted bloomers or tutu diaper covers: a built-in cotton or jersey panty with a tulle or ruffle overlay. That's the format you want for crawlers, since a loose skirt rides up and bunches the moment they sit. For 12-24M babies finding their feet, a short pull-on jersey or corduroy skirt works over leggings. Tulle should always be lined so netting never touches skin. Sizing runs by month (0-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-18, 18-24); size up, because a tutu shoots one birthday and gets worn for months after. Budget $14-$28 for skirted bloomers, $20-$45 for tulle tutu sets, and $30-$60 for a bodysuit-and-skirt outfit. An embroidered name, felt birthday number, or matching headband adds about $5-$12.

Use the size-in-months and fabric filters to match the season, and check related searches for cake-smash sets and matching headbands.
