What is babydoll?

Babydoll

A babydoll is a short, loose-fitting nightgown or negligee. The style is characterized by its:

  • Short Length: Typically ending above the knee.
  • Loose Fit: Designed for comfort and ease of movement.
  • Empire Waist: Often featuring a gathered or slightly fitted bodice that flows loosely from just below the bust.
  • Feminine Details: Frequently adorned with lace, ruffles, ribbons, or other decorative elements.

Babydolls are made from a variety of fabrics, including:

  • Cotton: For comfort and breathability.
  • Satin: For a silky and luxurious feel.
  • Silk: For a lightweight and elegant drape.
  • Lace: Often used as an overlay or accent.
  • Chiffon: For a sheer and delicate appearance.

While primarily worn as sleepwear or lingerie, babydolls are sometimes styled as casual summer dresses or tops, especially when paired with leggings or jeans. Their playful and youthful design makes them a popular choice for various occasions.
