Babydolls
Babydoll lingerie that flatters without trying: short, flowing lace and mesh babydolls with matching panties from Dreamgirl, Oh La La Cherie and Coquette in S to 3X/4X.
How to choose a babydoll
A babydoll is short, loose from the bust down and almost always comes with a matching panty. That cut is why it is the most forgiving piece of lingerie: the fit lives in the bust, so choose by cup. Underwire and molded cups give shape; soft triangle and halter tops give a lighter, more relaxed look. Sheer mesh shows, stretch lace skims, and satin panels add weight and shine. Babydolls run S to XL, with 1X/2X and 3X/4X in most of the lace styles.

Frequently asked questions
What is babydoll lingerie?
A babydoll is a short, loose nightdress that fits at the bust and flares to the upper thigh, usually in lace, mesh or satin and sold with a matching panty.
What is the difference between a babydoll and a chemise?
A babydoll flares out from under the bust; a chemise hangs straight from the shoulders like a slip. Babydolls hide the midsection, chemises skim it.
How do I pick a babydoll size?
Size by bust and cup, because the skirt is loose. If the style has underwire, match your bra band size; soft-cup styles can be chosen by your usual dress size.
Do babydolls come in plus sizes?
Yes. Dreamgirl, Oh La La Cherie and Coquette cut most babydolls in 1X/2X and 3X/4X, and several holiday styles come in plus.
Can you sleep in a babydoll?
Yes. Stretch-lace and mesh babydolls are light enough to sleep in; satin and corset-back styles are better for the evening than the whole night.
