Priscilla Collection: Vintage-Inspired Babydoll and 1960s Lingerie Sweet, sheer, and ever so slightly subversive—the Priscilla Collection is our romantic tribute to the timeless babydoll, reimagined through the lens of 1960s lingerie. From soft pastel hues to ruffled finishes, each piece in the collection celebrates the playful femininity of vintage sleepwear, while remaining wearable and flattering for the modern lingerie lover. At the heart of the collection is the Priscilla Baby doll, a floaty piece made from powder blue georgette and trimmed with delicate ruffles at the neckline, sleeves and hem. The empire line is gently shaped with soft elastic under the bust, ensuring the silhouette remains flattering while still evoking the lightness and charm of a traditional baby doll. Finishing just below the bum—not the mid-hip, as some older styles did—it’s designed to feel dreamy and elegant, without overwhelming your natural shape. The babydoll has come a long way since its early days as wartime nightwear. First introduced in the 1940s by American designer Sylvia Pedlar, the style was created out of necessity, responding to fabric shortages with shorter, simpler nightgowns. It wasn't until the release of the 1956 film Baby Doll , directed by Elia Kazan and starring Carroll Baker, that the term baby doll entered the mainstream. Since then, the style has become synonymous with flirtation, femininity and freedom—an enduring symbol of retro glamour. Our Priscilla Babydoll pays homage to this history while adding a few subtle updates of its own. Though the name leans into 1960s Americana (a nod to the iconic Priscilla Presley), the styling remains firmly rooted in the 1950s and early ‘60s, the golden era of 1960s lingerie. Pair it with the matching knickers or bloomers for a classic boudoir look, or style it with stockings and a suspender belt for added retro flair. In one of our favourite styling moments, we layer the babydoll over our peach Harlow Suspender Belt —proof t
