Hey, Babydoll

Your lingerie collection needs the morale-boost of a “babydoll,” the lingerie postage stamp that hits at the upper thigh and conveys a certain…certainty. It must be flawless. The time is now to add one. Because Jane’s Vanity has a special little stash. A babydoll would make a nice gift, too.

The Noor Aubergine Babydoll has just arrived from Layalina. Elegant in purple silk and lace, it feels like an abbreviated dream come true. One with non-adjustable wide straps, a top that is darted and “bagged out” in silk (meaning that the inside and outside are a mirror image), and a back closure with covered buttons. But most of all, its skimpy body of strategically placed panels of silk and French lace is rather awe-inspiring. Does one need such a beautiful thing? Yes. 

Perhaps a babydoll and robe would make a special weekend even more so. Gilda & Pearl’s Chelsea Silk Garden Babydoll begins with a hyacinth silk body and adds sheer tulle cups embroidered with pink flowers and green leaves. They then carry the embroidery to the shoulders and cuffs of a matching short robe. It would make a lovely composition with morning coffee by a tall London window in Chelsea. We should mention that there is also a matching Les Fleurs Lingerie Set. Since you asked.

When you are feeling Aphrodite, you want to flaunt it. Nice to know your JV babydoll awaits.
