The ‘babydoll’ look
The “babydoll” look didn’t just come because of the babydoll dress. It was a legitimate subculture that encompassed hair, clothing, and makeup. For reasons unknown, the ’60s were a time for grown women to dress like children. Most men didn’t consider the style inappropriate, as well. It was even something that they wanted for their wives. For women, it was a style that represented youthful rebellion and the counterculture that was prevalent during the decade. It was meant to empower, too.
