Question 1

What Is a Babydoll?

Accepted Answer

A babydoll is a style of women's lingerie and sleepwear that typically features a short, loose-fitting cut and a playful, feminine design. The style offers a more relaxed fit and more skin coverage that is universally flattering and comfortable.

Question 2

What Materials Are Babydolls Made From?

Accepted Answer

Babydolls are made from a variety of materials, including satin, lace, cotton, chiffon, and silk. The material will affect how much structure the cami has and how see-through it is. Many babydolls have embellishments like embroidery, glitter, and bows for an even cuter style.

Question 3

Are Babydolls Only for Sleeping?

Accepted Answer

While they are historically worn as sleepwear, babydolls are an easy way to style a sexy going out look for special occasions and romantic evenings. They look great with a pair of jeans or a maxi skirt.

Question 4

How Do I Find the Right Size Babydoll?

Accepted Answer

Refer to our online size charts or ask an associate in your nearest Victoria’s Secret store. Consider your usual clothing size, and shop by your bra size and bust measurements.

Question 5

Can babydolls be worn by all body types?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Babydolls have a comfortable design that is flattering on all body types. Our flowing, pleated babydolls have a loose fit over the stomach, and our strappy chiffon designs cinch the waist. Babydolls typically come in triangle shape, sweetheart, and balconette cup styles, so there are plenty of options to find a babydoll in your favorite style.

Question 6

How should I care for my babydoll?

Accepted Answer

Always check the care label on each piece. Many babydolls can be machine washed, but we always recommend hand-washing lingerie to maintain its shape and material. To hand wash, fill a sink or small container with cool water. Swirl in an appropriate amount of soap, usually no more than a tablespoon. Let the item soak for 15-30 minutes and rinse until there is no soap residue. If your item is machine-washable, close any hooks and place it in a lingerie bag. Use mild soap, cool water, and gentle settings. To dry, lay the item flat on a towel, making sure to reshape cups and smooth any wrinkles.

Question 7

Are babydolls suitable for gifting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, babydolls can be a thoughtful and romantic gift for anniversaries, weddings, or holidays. Lingerie is the ideal self-gift because you can choose the styles that empower and make you feel beautiful. Try our new Victoria’s Secret Wishlist to keep track of your favorite items for later.

Question 8

What’s the difference between a babydoll and a chemise?

Accepted Answer

A babydoll is typically short and loose, often with an A-line shape, while a chemise is longer and hangs straight down. Babydolls also have defined bra cups while chemises flow together as one dress, typically.

Question 9

Can I wear a babydoll outside of the bedroom?

Accepted Answer

Babydolls can be styled as casual outfits with the right accessories, like a pair of jeans and sneakers. For a feminine going-out look, try a babydoll with a maxi skirt and heels.
