The Inspiration: Tinsley Mortimer

Socialite and occasional handbag designer Tinsley Mortimer is famous for her adorable style. Vogue can't get enough of her charm and we can't get enough of her baby doll dresses.

She has a knack for choosing the sweetest dresses and pairing them with saucy accessories to keep things modern and hip - a look that is picture perfect for your next formal dance.

Satin Bubble Dress

This fun bubble dress is as elegant as it is low-maintenance.

Highlight the adorable sweetheart bodice with a bare neck and fancy earrings. For evening, spruce the dress up with heels and diamonds for evening, then recycle it for daytime with flats and vintage button earrings.

Bright Chiffon Dress

Though this shimmery chiffon baby doll dress was clearly inspired by visions of cool blue pools and bright ocean waves, beachy flip flops and sundrenched hair simply won't cut it.

Showcase the iridescent details with silvery stilettos and a stack of glistening bangles.

Satin Embellished Dress

A twirly skirt fit for a ballerina's tutu will have you cutting up the dance floor all night long!

Stay with this baby doll dress's ballet theme and choose sweet ballet flats, or lengthen those legs - dancer style - with feminine high heels.

Rosette Satin Dress

Season after season, rosettes remain a huge formalwear trend. To keep the sweet fabric from coming across too "prissy," this baby doll dress has a warm yellow color.

Look for accessories that are sleek and sophisticated; mary-jane stilettos and an armful of bracelets add just the right amount of sweet-but-sassiness.

Bow Sash Dress

Between the pleated bodice, the tulip skirt, and the legendary oversized bow, this baby doll dress looks like it might have pranced right off the runway.

It shows just the right amount of skin without being too bare; it is hip without being "hipster;" and best of all, it's of-the-moment, yet will still be wearable in five years.

Embellished Empire Waist Dress

If you fear blending in the background, nix the little black dress and opt for something colorful.

With its intricate empire-waist embellishment and flapper-influenced fit, this unique plum-hued baby doll dress is a stylish option. Now strap on those peep-toe pumps and do the Charleston.

Polka Dot Dress

Like sprinkles on a cupcake, polka dots add an adorable, whimsical twist to any dress.

This white strapless baby doll receives a girlish spin with a sweet dusting of dots topped off with a sleek, waist-cinching bow sash.

Tux-Inspired Dress

To keep the cool tux-inspired bib detail on this baby doll dress from coming across as your boyfriend's castoffs, stick with polished makeup and sophisticated accessories.

With patent black pumps, classic red lips, and trophy wife diamond studs, the look is prom appropriate but not too prom-y.

Metallic Bustier Dress

Between its ladylike silk fabric and glowing gold color, this bustier baby doll dress can hold its own against seriously sassy accessories.

Bring on the fuchsia lipstick, the turquoise heels, the studded cuff bracelets... just not all at once.
