BUT HAVE YOU TRIED THIS ONE???
By popular request, we've made a miniature pop star inspired version of our classic Sugar Candy Babydoll dress - this one is extra short and fully opens in front for a hybrid dressing robe style effect. This style also has all matching trims, so the elastic at the puffed sleeve and the satin ribbon at the neckline will be the same color as the classic 60's sheer nylon chiffon like material.
Available in royal cobalt blue, baby blue, lilac/lavender, pastel cotton candy pink, baby yellow, and white. Wide size range from XS-5X!
FIT NOTES: this style is shorter than any of the other versions of our sheer robes and babydoll dresses (particularly the XS/S!). Extra cheeky scalloped cut that will likely hit around hip level and dip in a soft curve slightly longer in front and back. If you would like the length to fit more like our Sugar Candy Babydoll, just size up! I would also recommend sizing up if you are larger in the shoulders or biceps. But conversely, don't be afraid of enough room in the arms for the plus sizes, the 4X/5X is very generous!
These are very flowy and meant to be worn loose, hence why they come in double sizes: XS/S, M/L, XL/XXL, 2X/3X, and 4X/5X.
Mosh is 5'3" and wears the XS/S. Aribelle is 5'9" and wears the 2X/3X. Mannequin shots are of the XS/S with a 33” bust, 23” waist, 34” hip, and 23” from collarbone to crotch form.
Designed and patterned by me; cut and sewn by a very small sewing facility in Chicago that I work with closely. I'm happy to personally sew you a custom version in a different color or other slight variation, please reach out to custom@dottiesdelights.com. There will be a standard made to order wait time and possible small custom fee.
100% nylon, made completely in the USA - even the fabric!

Quality Takes Time
Dottie’s Delights is a small company, committed to ethical labor practices. The utmost attention is paid to high quality and authentic workmanship, as we work to reproduce as close as is possible the craft that was put into mid-century clothing.
- All our products are constructed domestically in the USA, specifically Chicago, IL. Made to order items will typically be sewn by Stephanie, the designer.
- Each piece is patterned by Stephanie and hand-cut by her or if we're doing a small batch, cut by our production partner in Chicago.
- Then it’s put together by Stephanie or one of our small team of sewists who are paid a living wage.
With that kind of attention to detail, we can guarantee that our high standards for quality are met and that each piece you order from us is built to last.
