Welcome to the sexy lingerie directory.
Babydoll or Baby Doll: traditionally a women’s short
intimate nightwear item with shaped cup bra and including an attached
loose fitting ‘skirt like’ material. Babydoll lingerie usually includes
matching panty or thong. In the Europe the term is also used to describe
a variety of sexy short nightwear garments that are similar in
appearance to a chemise, but slightly more fitted around the bust and
waist.
Babydoll /
baby doll lingerie is usually more overtly
sexy than the chemise, often babydolls are made from a sheer material
and including bows and ribbons or other decorative additions such as
ruffles. The majority of babydoll
lingerie imported from the USA
includes a matching thong in one size to form a set. English and French
underwear manufacturers occasionally offer a matching sexy thong as an
option with the babydoll at an additional price; but more often the
panty or thong is included with a choice of sizes.
The word ‘babydoll’ or ‘baby doll’ is an American term
dating from the late 1940’s. In 1956 the term was popularized by the
black and white film Baby Doll
based on a story by Tennessee Williams. The American Baby Doll movie
starred the 25 year old actress Carroll Baker in the title role.
The babydoll / baby doll has gained in popularity in the
UK over recent years. Many internet underwear retailers now include
babydolls as a separate department. |
