Have guys ever heard of comfortable clothes on women? I mean come on sometimes a dress thats not tight is nice to wear. I don't think women wear them so they can stuff there face, its just something they like to wear. i don't think it makes everyone that wears them look fat either. i mean yes some people just shouldn't wear them but its ok for others to, so for the people that can pull them off, leave them alone. thatsd my opinion on the whole thing.

...And I thought your Kelly Clarkson article was bad? Way to put down women. I'm not going to wear anything that I don't want to wear, and I'm not going to not wear anything because a man doesn't like it. Obviously you have an abundance of insecurity if you're going to bow down to a man who simply "likes all asses."

Again, it makes your articles even more painful to read with the lack of punctuation and perspective of a preteen.

Save the Baby Doll Dresses for those who are pregnant! RP

You really are a moron. Why did they hire you again? Oh wait, I probably don't want to know.

You know, Lauren, this might come as a shock to you but, some men actually do find a pregnant woman's body to be very attractive. Anyway, the baby-doll dress (tops too, like the ones from Old Navy) does make you look pregnant weather you are or not. On a pregnant woman it kind of hides the fact that she is pregnant and only makes her look fat. I have never liked them on anyone, it's just not a very flattering look at all.

i've thought this for a while now and kept it to myself...guess i wasn't alone. this dress easily makes a good body look fat/preggers. sure, girls don't have to dress to impress guys or be comfortable, but shorts and a t-shirt are comfortable; and they don't make you look preg-a-roo either. i say ban the baby doll.

I absolutely disagree with the other people putting you down for making a valid point. The reality is men do really hate baby doll dresses. I'm not saying NEVER EVER wear them again. I just see some women buy majority of dresses in babydoll because it's comfortable. But sometimes, it does make a person look bigger than they actually are. So to Talia who called you a moron, calm down on the whole feminist uproar.

OH NO! They could make you look - GASP - pregnant!?! What is wrong with looking pregnant? I don't think anything is wrong with a woman looking pregnant. When I think of a pregnant lady I think of someone who is beautiful and strong of mind and body. WHY? Because pregnancy is physically and mentally taxing but at the same time a pregnant woman rises above the discomforts and realizes that NOTHING is more beautiful than the gift of life.
How do I know all this? I've been pregnant 3 times now and sorry but I have little respect for people like you who put down women that look womanly. Grow up and get a clue, Baby Doll.
Not all men hate baby doll dresses, most guys really don't care too much about clothes, they care far more about the woman inside 'em.
Also, the dresses are cute and some women, apparently not you, can look good in just about anything.

The harshest reactions generally come from people who can't handle the truth, and truth be told, if the majority of guys were given a choice between a hot woman with a flat belly, firm breasts and tight butt or what these women like to call curvy (aka overweight, usually) hot would win everytime. No one said a pregnant woman isn't beautiful, but looking pregnant when not is not beautiful. Beyoncé is curvy, Christina Aguilera is curvy, Jordin Sparks is big and Kelly Clarkson is big. These women can b.s. themselves all they want, but guys will continue to crave HOT, and curvy women will continue to make the diet industry rich. There are comfy clothes and there are hot clothes, they rarely are one in the same. Lauren, you're my new hero!

I hate baby doll dresses, my wife was asked this weekend if she was pregnant or if she had gained weight. Guess what she had on.

BABYDOLL DRESSES ARE HOT , you dorky gal..........lol

What I take issue with in the above article and comments is not the idea that some people may find the babydoll unattractive. To each his or her own. What I take issue with is the idea that, clearly, all women should be dressing to attract men, because of course there's nothing else in life. And of course there are no men out there smart enough to be attracted to a woman for more than her body. Who would want a relationship that wasn't based on sex, anyway?

I have no problem with looking hot. I'm reasonably attractive, but I'm also smart, and I prefer to attract men on that basis--looking hot is just a bonus. And, I have to say, I have some babydolls that make my chest look great, so they're not all bad. I just don't think looking hot is all there is, and I don't like thinking that if I'm not wearing skin tight clothing ALL THE TIME, then I can NEVER GET A MAN. Whatever. If that's what it takes to get a man, I'm not interested.

Oh, I also forgot to add that the Post article is hypocritical because it says that women should not dress as the fashion industry tells them, but implies that they should dress as men tell them. But then, it's the Post, so what did I expect?

Also--get this--not everyone thinks stick thin women are attractive! Anyone who bases their relationships on looks is destined to be desperately unhappy, so good luck with that.

EXCELLENT article. Babydoll dresses and shirts only make you look pregnant, even if you're a size 0. And no to all who said they were, but pregnant women aren't *physically* beautiful to the average passerby, but what they're doing is beautiful and wonderful, and what they *should* be doing in their lives. There's a distinction.

Women today (since the late 60's) are so stupid. I guess most of these girls commenting here and saying this article is BS just have to say "well, um, I don't need a man anyway! I don't have to dress for a man! Stupid men, I don't need 'em... *goes to NOW meeting in Birkenstocks with no makeup on*" because they can't get one. So they decide to just wear what they want and disguise the real reason they do by calling it "self-esteem" when it's really because, even when they tried to dress to attract men, it didn't work. If you're not dressing to attract men and make yourself look fabulous, why bother? Just wear a bath robe and no make-up, because, based on the logic you dress for yourself, that would be the best choice because it's comfortable and easy to do.

So YES, dress for the opposite sex. You don't have to be tiny to do it, you have to know HOW to dress to be attractive. And the baby-doll dress does this for NO ONE--but they do look cute on pregnant girls.

I am a size 2. I have a wide variety of clothes and styles in my closet. Yes some of them are babydoll dresses. Will I toss them out.... NO!

I don't care what other people think of me or of my clothes. I don't dress to impress man nor women. I don't dress to get a guy or get laid. I dress to feel comfortable and I dress to fit my mood. If I feel like being easy going and comfy, I toss on a babydoll dress.

I don't care about a person's opinion of me, my clothes, or my size. If someone thinks I look heavier in a babydoll dress.... so be it. I couldn't care less. I don't value other's opinions of myself. I have self confidence and self esteem. I wear what I wear and when I want to wear it.

I couldn't care less about attracting a man either. I have had and even seen so many relationships where the guy is only attracted to the woman for her body. All of these relationships have ended badly. I have had female friends spiral into depression over it. It just isn't worth dating a man who is only interested in a living Barbie doll. Hehe and most women that they would date are probably half plastic and silicone anyway.

Women, dress for yourselves. Don't waste your time for a guy who cares about your weight. Cause pretty soon, he will dump you for gaining a few pounds or not getting rid of all the baby weight. Why would you want to worry about what a guy thinks about you. After all.... this isn't IRAQ. The women should have a say about what they wear and when they want to wear it.

Oh and I don't wear makeup to meetings or to bars or anywhere else on plenty of occasions. My motto is .... This is me......take me as I am.

If you are full of self confidence and self esteem, that will take you farther than any dressing for a guy.

I know.... I am a relationship and marriage counselor. Every day I counsel woman and couples with issues. And trust me, women who dress for their men or dress to meet a man, are the ones who end up with broken relationships and broken hearts so much faster than those women who don't care what clothes a guy likes.

I have been in a terrific relationship with the guy of my dreams for over 8 years. I didn’t get him by dressing for a guy. I got him by being myself and having fun. And what was I wearing when I met him….? Something very similar to a babydoll dress.

This whole "what to wear to attract a man" issue is pretty boring. As a bisexual woman, it makes me cringe to think that a "skinny" body is number one on a man's primal list of "who to do." Everyone who has commented has me feeling as if a man wouldn't know what is "hot" if it was right in front of them, and that's pretty sad. Not only is it sad, but it's pretty inaccurate. Everyone here has also made men come off as unintelligent and barbaric, while the women sound insecure and needy of approval. I would take a sexy Kelly Clarkson over a thin Christina Aguilera any day. When it comes down to it, it's about the sexuality and sensuality under the babydoll, I say wear what makes YOU feel good, and that energy will be very hard for either sex to miss.

"More men for me"? Are you a teensy bit full of yourself?

Also, nothing wrong with a woman looking fat, as in fat, sweet, round, juicy, sexy, plump.

You want to have sex with a girl, be my guest. I like women, however.

Yeah, what Christina said, and I thought babydoll dresses worn the right way were meant to emphasize the chest and legs. If your dress is a few inches above the knee and you have nice legs, how much more skin do you need to show? I'm sure guys would have us all dress like Hooters waitresses if they could, but that doesn't mean we should.
