How to choose babydoll lingerie

Babydolls and chemises are some of the easiest lingerie to wear. They need no garters or complicated straps, and most people can find a flattering cut on the first try.

Babydoll or chemise

Babydoll lingerie has a structured or underwire bust and a skirt that flares from just under it, which flatters many shapes and skims over the midsection. A chemise is a straighter slip that follows the body from shoulder to hip. Longer negligees and baby doll nightgown styles add more coverage. Most sexy nighties in this category come with a matching panty or thong.

Fabric and feel

  • Lace: classic and textured, often paired with sheer mesh panels.
  • Satin: smooth, slightly glossy and comfortable enough to sleep in.
  • Sheer mesh: light and see-through for a more revealing look.

Fit tips

Size by your bust first, since the skirt is loose. Adjustable straps help with fit, and soft cups suit smaller busts better than underwire. For extended sizes, browse our plus size lingerie. Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry so lace and elastic last.

Other looks to consider

If you want something more fitted than a lingerie nightie, our teddies and bodysuits hug the body in one piece. Lingerie sets pair a bra and panty, and bridal lingerie covers white and ivory styles for a wedding night or honeymoon.

Babydolls and Chemises: common questions

What is the difference between a babydoll and a chemise?
A babydoll has a fitted bust with a skirt that flares out loosely below it, usually ending at the upper thigh. A chemise is a straighter slip that follows the line of the body. Babydolls feel airy and playful, while chemises look sleeker and more minimal.
How should babydoll lingerie fit?
Babydoll lingerie should fit snugly at the bust and fall loosely from the underbust down. Choose your size based on bust measurement, then use adjustable straps to fine-tune. If you are between sizes, size up for comfort, especially in styles with underwire cups.
Can you sleep in a babydoll?
Yes. Many babydolls and chemises double as nighties, especially satin and soft mesh styles without underwire. Lace pieces with underwire or decorative straps are better for shorter wear. Look for breathable fabric and a loose skirt if you plan to sleep in it.
How do you wash lace babydoll lingerie?
Hand wash lace babydoll lingerie in cool water with a gentle detergent, then press out water without wringing and lay it flat to dry. If you must use a machine, place it in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle. Skip the dryer, which weakens lace and elastic.
