Some of the fashions of the 60s and 70s are finding their way back to our younger generation. I have spotted one or two of my daughter’s friends are wearing the baby doll dress. My sisters had one or two of these dresses when they were in school. The baby doll dress of times past usually had puffed sleeves and smocking detail in the bodice similar to dresses that babies wore. They collapsed to some inches above the knee. Oftentimes the fabric the baby doll dresses were made from were pastel colored or tiny flowered prints.

The modern version of the baby doll dresses is typically sleeveless. The fabrics are solid colours and the material is commonly layered chiffon or similar soft sheer material.

The modern version of this fashion is being worn more for evening wear by girls in their late twenties and early thirties. It is amazing to me a dress made from such a trusting pattern can be so sexy. The dress isn’t divulging like tons of the different evening fashions, but the way that the fabric floats and the small girl playfulness is reasonably captivating on the right girl.

Sadly everytime a fashion style or cut of clothing becomes well-liked there are many older girls that feel they should join in wearing them. There are occasions when I think that there are some girls that are largely recycling their own clothing from years past. I recollect hearing some recommendation from a designer on a fashion show. He said that simply because you can wear something, or put simply just because something fits, it does not mean you would like to purchase it. His other piece if you wore mini skirts the initial time they were preferred, you are two old to be wearing them this time. Iam positive he would say the same about the baby doll dress. I you wore the dresses as a younger girls you should not consider wearing them again.
