Boudoir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A boudoir is a lady's private bedroom, sitting room or dressing room. The term derives from the French verb bouder, meaning "to pout".
Historically, the boudoir formed part of the private suite of rooms of a lady, for bathing and dressing, adjacent to her bedchamber, being the female equivalent of the male cabinet (disambiguation). In later periods, the boudoir was used as a private drawing room, and was used for other activities, such as embroidery, or entertaining intimate acquaintances.
[edit] In Photography
Boudoir is also used in photography as a term to describe a more revealing style of photography. Implied nudity, is common. Also subjects showing part of their undergarments, while still dressed is also common.
