This classic nightwear has evolved over the years to become one of the sexiest staples in any woman’s closet of sexy surprises. The basic design of the babydoll lingerie is a loose fitting, sometimes sleeveless, short top. The length usually falls between the belly button and the upper thigh. Most babydolls today are designed to be cute and sweet-looking, often making use of ribbons, bows, lace, ruffles and even fur. Straps also vary with some featuring spaghetti straps and others with capped sleeves. This alluring nightgown takes its name from a 1956 moving starring Carroll Baker in the title role for the 19-year old nymphet.
This style best suits long-legged women. The loose fit makes it an excellent choice for women of all body types as well, from the petite to the voluptuous. It skims curves and falls nicely around the hips giving only a subtle hint of the feminine form that lies beneath.
Those who want a little bit more exposure can choose the styles that have a bralette – formed cups that emphasize cleavage. Babydoll lingerie exude a carefree, flirty image. It offers the perfect mix between playfully innocent and sweet seduction.
