Camisoles & Slips Turning into Day Wear : The Trend

The latest trend emerging on the streets is that of wearing a lace and silk slip, normally reserved for the bedroom. When done right makes a ravishing statement of both confidence and on trend-savvy!

Not restricted to the evening, this look is one that draws on rock-glam origins. Large rimmed & sturdy hats of a cowboy nature are a key accessory to this look, as are dark smokey eyes and a statement black leather jacket - be worn more oversized than tailored. Boots are the perfect accessory and tend to centre the overall look with a grungier vibe.

Choosing the Babydoll Lingerie for You

 

Babydoll lingerie has been one of women’s favorite choices for undergarments ever since the 1960’s. The design of the babydoll exudes an irresistible mix of charming innocence and naughty kinkiness, with its flaring skirt that softly reaches up around the thighs and the scooping bra cups atop a flirty camisole.

 

Shape or form

Another reason for its continued popularity is the fact that babydoll lingerie can be easily worn by women; the basic design lends itself beautifully to any shape or form of the female body. For example, if you’re well endowed in the bust area, there are several babydoll designs that feature larger cup sizes for better support. If you want to enhance your breast size, however, there are also styles that have push-up cups.

Here’s a quick tip: choose a babydoll that is less frilly if you’re a petite woman. Frills or ruffles, especially around the neck area, tend to draw attention to your face and bust. If you have small breasts, choose a babydoll design that has a v-neckline. This style, coupled with push-up cups, can wonderfully enhance the look of your bust.

 

Length

With regards to the length of the skirt, a petite woman will look better wearing babydoll lingerie with shorter skirts. This will help to enhance the look of your legs and make them seem longer as well. The best thing to do if you’re confused about skirt lengths is to choose one that lengthens your legs, not cover them up too much. Aside from giving the illusion of length, a shorter skirt is generally more appealing and will look sexier.

 

Color

Many women may also get confused about choosing the right color for babydoll lingerie. The right color is actually the one that suits your mood for the day (or evening). Do you feel cute, sweet, and innocent today? Wear a babydoll with pastel colors like pink, baby blue, or any variety of white. Women who want to exude an aura of dominance and powerful sexuality will mostly choose red or black.

However, be careful about immediately buying a babydoll off the rack just because you like the color. Make sure that it also matches your hair and skin color. For example, there are women who will have pinkish skin tones and will still wear red babydoll lingerie, without them knowing that the color makes them look like they have a fever. Choose the colors as you would any other type of clothing by making sure that they flatter your hair color and skin tones.

 

Fabric

When it comes to the fabric, you may want to try wearing velvet, satin, lace, or silk. Bear in mind, however, that even though these are the most popular fabrics for babydoll lingerie, they are not the easiest to clean and take care of. If you prefer lingerie that’s as easy to wash/clean as they are soft, you might want to try nylon fabrics. It makes for a great substitute and is even washing-machine-friendly. Practicality aside, however, silk and satin are among the softest and silkiest fabrics that you could choose for babydoll lingerie.

True Blood : Tara's Corset

I think any True Blood fan will remember in season 5 when Tara Thorton steps out for the first time as a proud vampire. Strutting herself in a sexy purple fishnet Coquette corset with black jeans, she looked fierce and sexy. Here is what Audrey Fisher, True Blood’s costume designer, had to say about this moment.

 

I started from the basic backstory that Pam is dressing Tara from out of her amazing closet. And maybe she pulled out a few choices and then let Tara pick; she didn’t let Tara just run amuck in there! Tara’s favorite color is purple, and she’s been stuck in this bloody coral tank, denim shirt and jeans for days..so she went for something sexy, flashy and vampy! We made this in house, piecing together 2 different corsets, because I really wanted that specific length and line. And we had to make one for Rutina’s stuntwoman too, of course! I think she looks fierce, and I really wanted a jaw-dropping costume for this first moment of Baby Vampness. – Audrey Fisher
