I ended up buying two babydoll dresses:
one of this is this:
(same color, though since I'm considerably shorter...it will hit nearly at the knee).
The other is a babydoll similiar cut, but longer--just past knees, in silk rather than linen. It's also a light brown color, with a dark brown border/straps. (someone posted a picture of it here earlier this year...but I can't find it)
Any suggestions on what to wear with these? They were both dirt-cheap impulse buys. I don't normally wear babydoll tops...they make me look pregnant. The silk dress was an in-store buy, and it actually looked decent in the dressing room. The linen orange dress is from online...so I'm not sure how it will really fit.
Suggestions? I'm looking for casual outfit ideas.
I usually toss either a linen blazer, or a mini swing jacket on top of everything...but most of my dresses are fairly sleek...so I think the volume of the swing jacket will be overkill with these dresses.
