A babydoll
is a type of lingerie consisting of a short tank top, usually hitting at the
upper thighs or just barely coming to the thighs, and often a pair of matching
undies.

The movie
starred Carroll Baker, and featured her in several short negligees. The style
then became almost instantly popular as a necessary lingerie item for women.
The babydoll was soon mass-marketed, showing up in lingerie departments at
department stores and in many lingerie boutiques. Typically, the initial
babydoll was much more modest than those available today. It was usually made
of polyester, nylon, or even cotton.

Today you
will still most often find the babydoll made in synthetic fabrics. Polyester
and nylon are popular choices. Some are quite sheer, leaving little to the
imagination, and many have different types of trim. Ribbons, bows, faux fur, or
lace can bedeck the babydoll, and they come in just about every imaginable
color. Often the tank top has been replaced with spaghetti straps, the baby
doll may tie in the front, and reveal much of the abdomen, and it may have a
built in bra for greater breast support.

Some
versions of the babydoll are simply a short nightgown, and can easily be worn
without accompanying panties. Occasionally this form of babydoll is called the
chemise or shorty nightgown. The babydoll can be comfortable to wear,
especially in its simpler forms and when it is made of cotton, it can be cooler
on warm evenings. Most often, though, the babydoll is associated with eroticism
and considered lingerie rather than standard, more utilitarian nighttime wear.

You can
find babydoll styles at just about every department store, and they will vary
in quality and price. Choosing one depends most upon personal taste and whether
you lean more toward comfort or toward providing a romantic setting with
clothing. Some of the elaborately trimmed babydolls can be somewhat
uncomfortable, particularly when the material is inexpensive, or the babydoll
is cheaply made. If you’re choosing a babydoll for comfortable sleepwear, look
to at least mid-priced ones and definitely feel any trim to see if it will
scratch or prove itchy.
Young girls
short dresses can be made in babydoll style. These are typically made for
infants or the toddler set and may feature ruffled underpants or tights.
They’re considered easy, especially for those still in diapers, since you don’t
have to undress the baby to get to the diaper. This can be a cute style for
youngsters. The tops will generally differ from adult lingerie styles, with cap
or long sleeves.

Babydoll
style tops have also become popular for women, especially when paired with
leggings. The style seems an outgrowth of the Japanese street style, which
emphasizes especially childish clothes for female teens and young adults. Such
styles were featured in season 3 of the television show America’s Top Model,
and appear to have popularized the look in the US.
