Almost every woman living on Earth today, despite the equalization of rights in the modern world, wants to look like a fragile and gentle nymph in the eyes of the stronger sex. After all, ladies like to feel so much under the protection of men, to be behind them, like behind a stone wall, and to feel welcome. But with age, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the image of Nabokov's Lolita.
It is here that the “doll” style comes to the rescue: baby-dollars, famous for the abundance of airy dresses that give a childishly sweet lightness to the whole image, flawlessly emphasizes the femininity of the fair sex.
Short historical digression
As a baby-dollar style, it probably always existed: girls and women at all times tried to emphasize their feminine forms and natural fragility with the help of light and airy dresses. But this style became more widespread in the 50s of the 20th century, when Elia Kazan's painting "The Doll" was published. Carroll Baker - the actress who played the Doll - amazed the world with her childlike spontaneity and defenselessness and inspired American ladies to new fashionable achievements.
The puppet style successfully maintained its popularity until the end of the 70s. Then he disappeared without a trace from the field of vision of eminent designers. The time of the baby dollar has come again in the 10s of the 21st century, thanks to John Galliano and his acid collection. And even now, this style is essential for many girls and women.
Features in the choice of clothes, shoes and accessories
As mentioned earlier, baby dollars are light, sometimes cake-like, airy dresses made of translucent and flowing fabrics - chiffon, silk and pleated - not necessarily just above the knee, loose or high-waisted, with a fluffy skirt, with the maximum open shoulders , but chastely covered by the neckline.
When choosing shoes, preference should be given to shoes and sandals with small or medium heels - this will add grace to the image.
But with regard to accessories, you need to be as careful as possible: it is better to abandon massive bags and necklaces in favor of small clutches, trimmed with lace and rhinestones, and light jewelry. It is this combination that allows you to achieve the image of a cute and carefree doll.
Of course, babydolls are a beautiful style, and for some, they can be said to be a wardrobe staple. But it is worth remembering that each style has its own place and time: a dress that looks like a cake is more suitable for an evening walk along the pavement in the company of girlfriends than for a business meeting.
