The little is now a foundation of most wedding wardrobes, and there is one funny silhouette that’s just become madly favorite: the babydoll wedding dress.
The babydoll bridal gown headlined a trends record recently released by Pinterest as part of the cultural system’s 2024 Marriage Report. This month’s data reveals a dozen pretty non- traditional wedding party vibes that are warm, including glam romanesque- inspired celebrations ( hello,! ), classic details, and bright, kitschy day- of tones. Another great idea sweeping celebrations is the “quiet living” ( data reveals requests for “quiet life” have increased 530 per cent since last year ), which means having an event that’s focused on a more personal, casual and comfortable feeling.
The babydoll is completely on company with fashion’s existing love affair with all things pretty and romantic. We can credit the rise of the babydoll wedding dress straight to the runway, thanks to labels like Loewe and Versace who brought up the teeny- small, loose- appropriate dress style last year on the runways, and it’s now crossed over into wedding style.
I recently spoke to Vancouver- based bridal wear designer Ou Ma, owner of, about the babydoll wedding dress, a style she’s mad about because of its retro appeal and ease of wear.
“I love a babydoll wedding dress is a beautiful option when you want to wear something loose and fun”, says Ma, “This style is a fit for everyone and it’s a liberating style choice because you don’t have to worry about something that’s so tightly tailored. It’s a very fashionable option that feels feminine and sexy, without being form fitting”.
Ma says when it comes to wearing a babydoll, she loves taking a less is more approach to styling and keeping to a minimum. “Let the dress shine and you be the centre of attention”, she says. “Choose a killer shoe because they will be on full display! I love the idea of something extravagant with lots of sparkle, or bold colour that creates a great contrast paired with white”.
