What’s The Difference Between A Babydoll Dress And A Chemise?
An age old question when it comes to lingerie! When it comes to these two, the line between them can be as thin as the fabric they’re made from. Let’s talk about it.
The Babydoll Dress: Short, Sweet and Sassy
Think of a flirty little number that barely skims the top of your thighs. That’s your typical one. Babydoll lingerie is all about embracing your playful side. With its empire waist and flowing skirt, it’s made to give you that innocent yet sexy look that impossible to resist. They also come with matching panties, because why not go all out? They’re perfect for those nights when you want to feel cute and sexy, without sacrificing any comfort.
The Chemise: Sleek, Seductive and Sophisticated
Without putting the babydoll down, you could say the chemise is a bit like the grown-up sibling. Usually, it falls to around mid-thigh or just above the knee. Even though it brings more coverage, it still keeps that air of mystery and seduction.
They’re all about smooth lines and subtle sauciness. They’re often made from nicer fabrics like silk and satin, making them feel just as good as they look. If the babydoll is a giggle champagne cocktail, you can think of the chemise as an aged fine wine.
The Gray Area in Lingerie
In this world, rules are made to be broken. You’ll find a lot of pieces that blur the lines between any two styles. Some lingerie dresses might combine elements from other types, which results in a hybrid which is hard to categorise, but easy to love.
While we’re here, it feels wrong not to mention other night-time favourites. Kimonos and kimono dressing gowns offer a more refined type of allure, with their flowing sleeves and exotic charm. Nighties also range from cozy flannel to barely-there lace, showing once again that bedtime attire can be anything but boring.
What Is The Use Of A Babydoll Dress?
The truth is, you could say they have more than one use in many different ways, from practical to playful. At the very least, they’re made to make you feel sexy, confident and comfortable all at the same time – pretty impressive for something that weighs less than a feather!
The Babydoll’s Bedroom Ballet
First and foremost, they truly shine in the bedroom. They’re the ideal blend of revealing and concealing, showing just enough to tease and please at the same time. Paired with some matching panties or, for the bold, nothing at all, they’re sure to get your partner’s heart rate rocketing.
But don’t think they’re just one-trick ponies. Babydoll tops can double as sleepwear, which may be cooler, lighter and comfier than your traditional button up PJs. They’re also great for lounging around the house when you want to feel a little more glammed up rather than wearing the same old trackies!
Of course, they’re super adaptable, just like the rest of the lingerie family. They can be paired with anything from stockings to bondage hoods, not to mention a host of sex toys to really turn up the heat in the bedroom. Think wand vibrators, bullet vibrators to tail butt plugs and vibrating nipple clamps. You could really choose any dance partner for your babydoll’s bedroom ballet!
In the grand spectrum of lingerie, from corsets to camisoles, from teddies to thongs, babydolls have affirmed their place. In a world of serious silk, it’s a more friendly and approachable option. Just remember, next time you slip one on, you’re not just wearing a piece of clothing. You’re donning a whole mood, attitude and experience.
How To Choose The Best Babydoll Dress, Chemise Or Nightie
The eternal quest for the perfect bedroom attire! If you’re shopping for a special occasion or just looking to switch up your usual routine, you can often find yourself lost in an endless world of lingerie and night-time wear. Don’t fear though, like with everything else, RaptureWorks has your back. Let’s talk about what you should be looking for.
Babydoll Brilliance: Finding Your Flirty Fit
When it comes to babydoll tops, it’s all about honing in on your playful side. The perfect mix of cute and racy. You should look for styles that really accentuate your best features – like a plunging neckline for the 'well-endowed’, or a high-cut leg for those blessed with long, sexy legs.
The main thing we’d say though is to make sure you’re comfortable. If you find yourself readjusting every 10 seconds, you might as well be wearing a burlap sack.
Chemise Chic: Sleek and Seductive
If you want to go down the more sophisticated route, consider one of these elegant pieces. They can take you from a casual night of Netflix and chill to a romantic rendezvous without missing a beat. A lace chemise offers a perfect glimpse of skin, while a silk one feels like a cool, soft caress on the body.
When choosing, consider what mood you’re going for. Is it ‘come hither’ or more of a ‘cuddle me’ kind of evening? The right one can do both, but it’s all in the detail.
Nightie Know-How From Cosy to Flirtatious
Nighties run the range from modest to daring, so here it’s kind of important to know what you’re really after. Silk nighties provide a super luxurious feel and a racy drape, which is perfect for those ‘I woke up like this’ moments. If you’re looking for something more modest, go for a longer style with a delicate lace trim. It’s like wearing a comforting hug to bed, but with more fashion.
When choosing your perfect sleepwear, don’t forget to involve a supporting cast. A well-chosen pair of stockings can elevate any look. And for those who really want to push the boat out, why not explore some handcuffs or sex whips and floggers. There are countless combinations of fun in the bedroom. The outfit is just the beginning. Get your partner to take control of a love egg or remote control vibrator, and see your standard evenings elevated to unmatched fun!
Whatever you go for, the key is to wear it with confidence. As long as you feel great on the inside, it will 100% show on the outside. So go ahead and slip into something that makes you feel fabulous – your reflection (and perhaps a lucky partner) will thank you!
