A babydoll is a short Nightgown or Negligee intended as Nightwear for young ladies. The garment is often trimmed with Lace , ruffles, appliques, Marabou fur, bows and ribbons, optionally with Spaghetti Strap s. Sometimes it is made of Sheer or translucent fabric like Nylon or Chiffon or Silk . The garments hemline is usually about six inches above the knee like a Minidress and may have a scoopneck. They are usually considered provocative. It is said the name was popularized by the retailing made the form both affordable and easy to purchase. Short daywear Dress es of a similar style are sometimes called ''babydoll dresses''; the name is sometimes two words, ''baby doll'', and sometimes hyphenated, ''baby-doll''. Some styles are similar to what is worn by Doll s in the form of infants, and by some infants; the Gown is short enough that Diaper s are easily changed. Thus, it is a common garment for those who indulge in sexualized play-acting around ideas of Infantilism . However, there may be an alternative origin for the style, if we consider the lineage of Lace -trimmed shortie bed-jackets and bed-capes of the 1930s and 1940s. It is now a highly eroticized item of adult apparel, often classified as a form of Lingerie . When worn by an adult woman there is great contrast to when worn by an infant; the legs are fully displayed and some styles emphasize or deliberately expose the Breast s as well. The gown is often sold as a set with matching Panties (UK - Knickers ) as a typical babydoll is short enough that underwear is visible if worn . Styles of the same general length but not intended to emphasize Sex Appeal are sometimes called Shortie Nightgown s. Babydolls are now available in a sufficiently wide variety of styles that many Lingerie retailers consider babydolls a distinct department. Modern babydolls often vary considerably from the styles of the 1960s and 1970s. Baby doll Negligee s from the 1950s to the early 1980s are now collectible items. Some babydolls open up in front and resemble more of a robe or Peignoir . Another type of Babydoll is the Babydoll T-Shirt, which is nothing more than an extra long T-shirt worn as a nightie. A provocative Babydoll is called the "Fembot" which is made up of a marabou clad bralette with pleated chiffon for skirt and marabou strip for hemline. It got its name from the movie , where feminine robot androids wear such Babydoll nightgowns. EXTERNAL LINKS |
