What is a babydoll dress?

A babydoll dress is a style of dress that is typically loose-fitting and short in length, with a high waistline that sits just below the bust. The dress often features a empire waist, gathered skirt, and a hem that falls above the knees.

Babydoll dresses are known for their feminine and youthful look, and are often made from lightweight, flowy fabrics such as cotton, chiffon, or silk. They can come in a range of styles, from casual and bohemian to more formal and elegant.

This style of dress originated in the 1950s and became popular again in the 1990s, often associated with the "grunge" fashion trend. Babydoll dresses are versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, making them a popular choice for summer parties, festivals, or casual outings.
