According to ShoppingheTrend.com, one of the hottest trends for Spring 2007 is the baby doll or empire waist dress.
"...some of the best-dressed women on the red carpet are wearing empire waists, bows, frills, ruffles, lace... we're placing all of these under a collective Baby Doll trend."
The baby doll dress is hot at nearly all women's apparel merchants, from this $280 silk brown slipdress from Neiman Marcus, to Isaac Mizrahi's $29.99 jersey interpretation, sold at Target. Some women like the coverage of an empire waist, but not all. Ebates staffer Diana says "The waist of baby doll dresses is unflattering and this look can't be pulled off by all women, especially older women."

I would have worn one when I was younger. You definately have to have the legs to go with it "sigh".
Only time I've worn a babydoll, someone asked if I was pregnant (my stomach is pretty flat- but the dress balooned that way). Never wore it again :)
I am indeed familiar with that plight. I wear 'em anyway. They look perfect with jeans and a cute pair of flats!
Waaaaay back in the late 60's (no, not 1860's) I wore empire waist dresses and loved them. BUT, I only weighed 98 pounds then...Young girls and those not overweight are the only ones who should wear these dresses.
