*It's a local (Round Rock,) mom-owned business. :)

Check out Monogram Lady on Far West Blvd....they have dresses with a cupcake with one candle, but they may not be fancy enough for what you're looking for be/c they are more like sun dresses.

And best of all, you can have it monogram with your daughter's name on it.

I always go to Burlington Coat Factory. They have the same dresses plus more than the Dept. stores at a lot less money! I always find what I am looking for there.

Good luck!

If you are in Austin, I recommend looking at Bright Beginnings -- they might have something. Another thought is to buy a plain dress with the tulle and poof, and then do a stencil onto the dress? You can buy an iron-on stencil kit at Michael's very inexpensively. :)

Alternately, look for a really cool #1 onesie somewhere like cafe press and then buy a tutu to go over it?

I used Sophiasstyle.com for a flower girl dress. The price was half of David's Bridal for the same dress. Shipping was fast. They carry several "birthday" dresses with birthday themes. A really good brand of dress is "Rare Editions". You could also try searching for "Rare Editions Birthday Dress" on ebay. They also carry that brand at Dillards and Macys, but not sure if they would have the birthday dress. The cutest dress I've seen on ebay is a flower girl dress with tulle on the bottom and flowers inside the tulle. Just search for flower girl dresses by size. Good luck!

I would find the perfect dress and then buy a "1st Birthday" bib to protect the perfect dress. Make your baby the focal point and accessorize with "1". ie the cake, decorations, ballons, wrapping paper. That way the dress could be used again for holidays coming up.

You can always find the dresss you want and have a professional embroidy something, it's not as cheesy as it sounds... example:
