Babydolls

Cute and feminine babydoll lingerie

Aside from the bra and panties, babydolls are one of the most well-known and well-liked types of bedroom lingerie. They offer the support of a built-in bra, the allure of flowing, silky fabric and the excitement of lace and other embellishments. There is something special about them that seems both innocent and sophisticated. A lace babydoll can go a long way toward spicing things up in the bedroom.

Finding the Perfect Babydoll Lingerie

Like most lingerie these days, the babydoll is no longer a simple concept. Babydolls can be long or short, tight or flowing, and anything in between. More self-conscious women may prefer longer, flowing nighties to show off less of their body and leave more to the imagination. Tight, stretchy babydolls, on the other hand, show off every curve. Different necklines are also available, from a modest scoop to a deep V-neck plunging below the navel.

In addition to fit, consider the fabric you want when selecting a babydoll. A sheer babydoll is probably made of nylon or silk, and the see-through aspect makes this lingerie flirty and fun. A chiffon babydoll is probably made of cotton, silk or a synthetic fiber, and has a translucent, floaty feel. If you are hoping to wear your babydoll as sleepwear, consider something in a soft fabric such as cotton, silk or satin with minimal frills.

Matching Babydoll Sets

While a babydoll top could be worn alone, the best way to get the full effect is to pair it with a matching panty. Many lingerie pieces come as a set of top and bottom, so getting things to match is a snap. Choose a panty that fits your style and comfort level. Thongs are usually considered the ultimate in sexy bedroom wear, but cute bikini style panties or lacy boy shorts can also send the message. Most of the time, the babydoll and panty set is meant for bedroom fun only. For this reason, these sets may have lots of lacy frills, or other details and embellishments such as feathers, sequins or pompoms. Don’t expect them to double as underwear!
