Babydolls

A babydoll is a short, sometimes sleeveless, loose fitting nightgown or negligee intended as nightwear for women. It sometimes has formed cups called a bralette for cleavage with an attached loose fitting skirt falling in length usually between the upper thigh and the belly button. The name was popularized by the 1956 movie Baby Doll starring Carroll Baker as a 19-year old nymphet, which marked the beginning of the popularity of the style for adults.
