Posts with tag baby doll dress

Baby doll dresses give women the freedom to say "yes" to bread. It allows women to say "Sure I will have another cupcake." It also keeps mouths hushed when it comes to the question "How many calories are in that?"

Ladies, did we ever think men actually enjoyed seeing us in baby doll dresses? We hoped, but we were wrong: The New York Post has just published a story damning baby doll dresses straight to hell. What is wrong with a baby doll dress? Let me count the ways:

1. They make you look pregnant.
2. They make you look fat.
3. They make you stuff that carb laden piece of bread down your throat which makes you fat!
4. Men hate them.

I can hear the cries now, "You shouldn't dress for a man!" (insert head twist and a snap). But seriously, men like women's bodies and not some poofy sack of fabric. Don't believe me? Check out these quotes:

"Most girls look fatter in them," he said. "Guys do not like baby doll dresses."

"I like ass," he says. "I like all types of asses and a pair of jeans that really contours to it. I'm not going to hate on baby-dolls, but nothing beats a good ass."

Still not convinced? Suit yourself. You go ahead and look fat ... more men for me. Thanks.

Though I hate the word "babydoll," and would much prefer calling it a short, empire-waisted, flirty-skirted dress, that's just too long and difficult when it's the easiest thing to wear in the summer time. It's short so it's a little flirtatious, and with the empire-waist and lots of draped fabric, you can finally breathe. Save the sucking in for the bikini.

Over at Bluefly, they've got babydolls up the yin yang, but here's the one I love, and since it is Bluefly, it won't drain you of your Mystic tan funds:

From the queen of dresses, Diane Von Furstenburg's "Pomdor" in aqua green sort-of-leopard print. And what's hot about this dress? The straps are removable. So, you can wear it with the straps as you're blazing through the mall, then just ditch the straps in the car as you head out to dinner. Sexy. And just think, since it's basically two dresses in one, that $219 doesn't seem bad at all.
