What is a baby doll nightdress?
A Baby doll nightdress, in a nutshell, is a short, sleeveless, loose-fitting, elegant style of luxury nightwear.
A brief history of the Baby doll nightdress
The baby doll nightdress has come a long way since its invention, attributed to the American lingerie designer Sylvia Pedlar in 1942 as a material-saving invention during wartime fabric shortages.
In 1956 a movie called Baby Doll was released in the USA starring Carroll Baker in the title role as a 19-year-old nymphet who wore a very flimsy, floaty sheer nightdress.
A scandal erupted, leading to the film being on a partial ban .All the media attention on the film caused a backfire on the protesters to the movie, as several copies and variations started to flood the shops. Women loved it! They still do! The nightgown then became to be known as the baby doll.
The original inventor Sylvia Pedlar hated the name and never used it.
Over the following decades, the baby doll nightdress evolved into erotic lingerie for women becoming increasingly daring, shorter and sensual with exquisite designs and fabrics.
