boudoir
Lady's sitting room
A boudoir is a woman's private sitting room or dressing room, typically adjoining a bedroom.
The word evokes intimacy and feminine elegance: She retreated to her boudoir to read.
Boudoir photography features sensual or romantic portraits, often in bedroom settings: She booked a boudoir session before the wedding.
