I get out of bed, put on dressing gown, head to loo, brush teeth, wash hands...go potter about and have breakfast.
Wake up.
Head for the shower.
Then I get dressed...go back for second mug of coffee or tea and off to work (from home)
Do you own a dressing gown?

Imagine louging around in this? Not very practical for making tea or washing up but absolutely essential if you have a chaise longue

The whole point of a dressing gown is that you are not ready for all that activity before you have had a cup of coffee.

I think I associate dressing gowns with my dad warming his bollocks in front of the gas fire and with my brother trying to look like Byron. I just can't stand them. My wife has a towel one that she uses instead of a towel and I don't know how you can get dry in them because you're basically wearing a wet towel. Even in winter I open the window and air dry while I shave after a shower. I have jogging pants, vests and hoodies for lounging round the house in.

Nope, used to and occasionally think about getting one but either have thick pyjamas for winter and wear shorts the rest of the year.

When you're rudely awakened by the bin men?
Getting up in the middle of the night for a pee seems to afflict everyone in my family....so it is not unusual to bump into each other on one of the landings - a dressing gown is essential (no-one wants to see their mum and dad's arse going up the stairs (and as for coming down them). Plus, it is bloody cold because we have a draughty house and an open window habit.
spellcheck is making me doubt myself. Is this how to spell draughty (drafty?)

I've got a big black fluffy one that lives at my g/f's so I won't scandalise anyone if I get up for a pee in the night.
I might get another for my place though. I could do with a massive white fluffy thing. Like you get in a hotel.
Hmm. Who'd be good for something like that? M&S?

That's a Dryrobe... used by triathletes & sea-swimmers, the shiny black ones put me in mind of giant soft musical instrument cases (I think it's the chunky zips & giant embroidered logo), but they are very snuggly and waterproof and have giant practical pockets).

On my lounging days, not having a chaise longue (or indeed a living room to put one in), I take to my bed with a pot of tea, so really what I aspire is a bed-jacket rather than a dressing gown.
I would like satiny, quilted & fluffiness, but those cuffs look like they might get toast crumbs caught in them.
I have an ancient waffle robe that I used to use for darting to the bathroom in shared houses, but I never use it now.

Quite like the hooded robe thing there. You could deffo give it a bit of Emperor out of Star Wars wearing that. 80 quids a bit steep though. Hmm.

"Scandalise anyone"...she's with family
but still with her....fantastic.I would imagine John Lewis, where else, for big fluffy gowns.
I like my gown when I get home. Don't like wearing out door clothes in home and gown puts me into relax mode....without undies for some fresh air

Ha, no it's her house. I'm not going to shock her Mum to death or anything. Her son has his g/f staying over sometimes so wandering around in the buff a little unseemly."Scandalise anyone"...she's with family

Yes, we're engaged, thank you.
ready made family can be a real bonus also. I am knitting such a thing, Ms Ordinary. Full of fluffy goaty goodness (and something called seasilk(?). Palest pink/grey. I am pondering the full bedjacket experience with a satin pussy bow. And matching bedsocks. Unfortunately, I have been knitting this for 3 years but I am hoping for a final push in time for this coming winter (only sleeves left to do).
You sound like you also need someone to bring you the tea and toast and whatnot while you lounge about looking glamorous.

They were selling them for ten quid in the M & S outlet shop when I was in the other day. Not sure if you have one of the outlets near you though.

Oh god. I had one of them. I’d completely forgotten till you posted that.

You could make one I suppose - not sure what the material is as it's not clear on the picture.

reporting in that today's student conference attendee wore a lovely leopard skin print wrap. So lovely I would like to have asked where it was purchased from had it not been a bit inappropriate for me to draw attention to it
