She has one first birthday. It arrives on time.

How long does shipping take?
Every Calgary and Ballerini dress is handmade to order and ships worldwide in 10 days. We ship with duties paid — what you see is what you pay, with no surprise customs fees at your door.

What size should I order for my daughter's first birthday?
For a first birthday, we recommend ordering the 12–18 month size. Our dresses feature adjustable back ties and flexible waistbands so she can wear it comfortably from her cake smash all the way through her party. When in doubt, size up — the adjustable construction means a larger size will still fit beautifully.

Is the dress comfortable enough for a full day at a castle visit?
Yes. Every Calgary and Ballerini gown is lined with our signature no-itch silk-touch lining — the same technology used in professional bridal wear. She can wear it for character breakfasts, special events, and photos all day without discomfort. Over 1,500 verified families have worn our dresses for milestone events and confirmed this comfort.

Can she wear the dress more than once?
Absolutely — our dresses are heirloom quality, not costume quality. Families wear them for birthdays, milestone portraits, holiday events, and special celebrations. Many of our customers pass them down to younger siblings. We recommend spot cleaning for minor marks and dry cleaning only to preserve the intricate handwork.

Will the dress look as stunning in photos as it does online?
Every detail you see is exactly what arrives. Our dresses are specifically engineered for professional milestone photography — the volume, the fabric weight, the embellishment placement — all designed to photograph beautifully under studio lighting and natural light equally. With over 8.8 million likes across our social platforms, you can see thousands of real customer photos before you order.

Do you ship to my country?
Yes. We ship worldwide with duties paid and DHL Express tracking. Every order arrives within 10 days of purchase regardless of where you are in the world.

Can I get a custom size or a mommy and me matching dress?
Yes to both. Visit our Design Studio for fully bespoke custom orders. For mommy and me matching sets, many of our signature designs are available in adult sizing — contact us directly and our dream dress specialists will create your perfect matching set.

Are these dresses licensed character products?
Our dresses are original, high-end handmade designs inspired by classic fairy tale aesthetics and storybook nostalgia — they are not licensed or affiliated commercial merchandise. They are designed as artisan luxury wear for milestone photography and private celebrations.

Each Calgary and Ballerini gown is hand-cut and constructed from scratch by our master artisans. Never mass-produced. Never rushed. Every stitch is intentional.

To keep your heirloom beautiful:

✦ Spot clean minor marks with a damp cloth

✦ Dry clean only for full cleaning

✦ Store hanging in a breathable garment bag

✦ Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve color

This dress is not a costume. It is an heirloom.
