babydoll

Sheer sleeping garment

A babydoll is a short, loose-fitting nightgown or negligee, typically ending above the knee and often trimmed with lace or ruffles.

The style became popular in the 1950s and remains associated with feminine sleepwear and lingerie.

Babydoll can also describe a style of dress with a similar silhouette—fitted at the bust and flowing loosely below.

As a term of endearment, babydoll addresses someone affectionately, suggesting sweetness or attractiveness: Come here, babydoll.
