Now that I’ve found my perfect party dress, my attention has shifted towards finding a flirty babydoll dress. The babydoll theme is thought-provoking since the style, (hence the name) is mimiced after little girls’ clothing. This can either look really cute or really stupid. So, if you’re shopping for a babydoll piece, perhaps you should bring along a friend.

The dresses, camis, nighties etc are sexy, but more in an ‘I want to take your innocence way’. Even the stylists at the fashion shows often put the models’ hair into pig tails or have them carry a giant lollypop or lunch box as a prop to complete the visual concept. And it works. On a simple level the styles are cute and playful, but when you think about why they are sexy, it’s a bit strange when realizing that on some level designers are tapping into the taboo male fantasy of being attracted to a little girl. Knowing this, can make it even more fun to wear. When you slip into your little girl inspired ensemble, you can also assume the part in a flirtatious role-play (all subtle and played into merely on a subconscious level).

Below is a collection of designer babydoll dresses which I am basing my search upon; finding a dress similar to these styles but at a price I can afford.
