29 Special Dresses That Say "It's My Birthday"

There's something about getting a new birthday dress that just makes me happy. Truth be told, I don't look forward to my birthday as much as I used to, but having something cute to wear for it certainly increases my excitement. (For the record, it's my birthday month, and I purchased a new dress this morning.) Obviously, you don't have to wear a dress on your birthday, but if that's the plan, you've come to the right place.
Unlike dresses for other occasions, a birthday dress can be whatever you want it to be—no dress code consideration required. It should be special and eye-catching enough to ensure that you're the main character because you literally are. I spent much of my day today turning the internet upside down in search of the most birthday-worthy dresses I could find. Even if your birthday is 11 months away, enjoy shopping a great roundup of dresses for any fun occasion in your future.
