Besides the obvious bra and panties, every woman should own at least one babydoll set. Hands down, it’s the perfect lingerie item for every woman. A babydoll is a type of nightgown or lounge wear. Most of them have formed cups, some with underwires to lift and enhance your breasts alluringly. The fabric falls softly from the bodice to create a beautiful flowing gown, typically falling midway between thighs and knees. They are the perfect piece of lingerie to cover “problem areas” such as belly, hips, and thighs.

The term “babydoll” nightgown was coined from a 1956 movie, titled “Baby Doll”. The movie starred Carroll Baker in the title role. The outfit she wore was to form the design for future lines of this new style gown. Today, the babydoll is a staple piece of lingerie found in every discriminating woman’s lingerie collection. It’s also your safest bet when you want to buy the lady in your life a luxurious set of lingerie, but just aren’t quite sure what it is that she would really enjoy.

Babydolls come in a huge variety of different fabrics, styles, and embellishments. So whether you are ultra-conservative, or over the top funky, there is a babydoll that has your name written on it. Feathers, rhinestones, and embroidery can be found along with silky, sheer, or even leather and vinyl styles. Some babydolls are made with an open front to resemble more of a robe and are very alluring for the woman that likes to show off her belly ring.

Whichever style you choose, and I hope you have at least up to three babydoll sets, they will give you the perfect outfit to “get more comfortable”, and sexy in.
