The term babydoll is used to refer to a particular type of clothing. It can either be used to refer to a dress or to lingerie. When you talk about the babydoll dresses, many women will understand what you are referring to, given the fact that the dresses are increasingly becoming popular. The notable feature about the babydoll is that it has a relatively high waistline. The waistline of the babydoll is higher than the natural waistline. It is usually found in the mid ribcage area or a little below the bust. Traditionally, this style of dress was reserved for children or young girls. However, today adult women take pride in being part of this new trend. The dress derives its origin from toy baby dolls, whose dresses are styled in the same manner. Despite the popularity of the babydoll, care needs to be taken when choosing such a dress. This is because; the wrong choice of dress could have an effect on how you look. It is only if you choose the right dress that you will be able to pull off the babydoll dress look. Below are a few tips to help you make the right choice.

–          When choosing a babydoll the first thing you need to take note of is your body type or shape. We all have different body shapes, all of which look good in different dresses. The babydoll has been known to be unflattering to certain body types. It is, therefore, recommended that you ascertain that your body type is suitable for this dress style.

–          Regardless of what body shape or type you have, you can wear a babydoll in the form of lingerie. The lingerie is a dress composed of a bra in the form of a top and a loose skirt. It is usually fitting at the top and loose at the bottom. The body of the lingerie can be open and sleeveless or have some straps if you prefer.

–          For this style to suit you or flatter your figure, it needs to be relatively tight around the bosom. Most babydolls come with bra like bands that are adjustable. You can, therefore, adjust the dress until it is relatively tight. This way, the dress will look flattering and will shape your body perfectly.

–          On the other hand, you should stay away from babydoll dresses that are tight or which have tight skirts. This is because; these dresses are supposed to have a loose skirt, which is one of their most distinguishing features.

When you’re in a creative role you have to consider comfort, because if you’re constricted and you can’t move, you just end up thinking about your clothing. Before I had my two children, my style was much more flamboyant. I would sometimes come into work in an evening dress with a vintage leather jacket. But I still love my ridiculously high heels. I own them by the tub-load, particularly black patent styles by Charlotte Olympia, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik… I think heels are very important for work because they instantly elevate you. I like to really wear them in because it shows you’ve had fun in them, and then I get rid of them when they’ve had it.
