Boudoir Dolls

Pampered Polly
 designed by Madeleine Sara Maddocks 2007

~ Artist’s Vision for Soft Sculpture Figure ~

     She’s my version of a boudoir doll. I imagined the blissful expression on Polly’s face as she enjoys a pampering session of nail treatments and facial. Her slightly sun-bronzed complexion also denotes a visit to the solarium. Whilst her attire consists of towelling robe and head towel; to further the theme of luxurious indulgence, as well as for modesty, 
she has sexy, black, lacy underwear.

Boudoir Dolls
The term boudoir derives from the French verb bouder, meaning "to pout" 
Its definition: 'a lady's private bedroom, sitting room or dressing room'.  

Boudoir is also used in photography as a term to describe implied nudity or revealing glimpses of a lady's undergarments while still dressed.

Historically, the boudoir formed part of the private suite of rooms of a lady adjacent to her bedchamber, for bathing and dressing (i.e. the female equivalent of the male cabinet). 

The boudoir later bacame used as a private drawing room for embroidery or entertaining intimate acquaintances.
