Do you own a dressing gown?

[Voley]

The top 2 are exactly the silky soft fluffy stuff that makes me gip
But that bottom grey knitted one looks like it could be a goer.
Thank you

I like that bottom one too. But I already own two dressing gowns.

Looks like they're selling them like hot cakes, so you'd better order if you need a third dressing gown. All the black ones are out of stock, but grey ones are OK.

I am trying to imagine an amusingly childish pronunciation

I find myself channeling Leslie Phillips.

kittyP - I ordered one of the fleecy Next dressing gowns and picked it up today. It felt really cosy, and the bottom of it was just below my knees - I'm 5' 11" so depending on your height it could be more or less what you want.

Fake French? "vel-WOUERRRRR"?

it's pronounced vel-oo-er

I'm still thinking about one of these. Wrong side of 40 quid is putting me off a bit. I might see if Father Xmas has any room left on his list.

I'm in danger of being one of those dreadful people that orders themselves nice stuff in the run up to Xmas and incurs the wrath of loved ones.

Think of it this way - a dressing gown should last donkeys years, so it works out at maybe 2 quid a year. A good investment.

I don't think that's expensive for good quality dressing gown really. I paid £79 for one once, and have no regrets.

You've talked me into it.

 

[scifisam]

You've talked me into it.

It lasted me ten years and until the end, when it was ratty after lots of wear, made me happy every time I wore it. Warm and comfy is the new cool.

I have a cheap towelling robe - not high quality but does the job ...

26 quid - £3 more than I paid three years ago.

My mum has ordered me the same.
It was supposed to arrive today but they said they couldn't deliver it, bloody Hermes.
Good to know its cozy though

Admittedly I only tried it on straight after getting home, all sweaty like, but it's basically a fluffy housecoat.

I've got a number of down coats / hoodies I use as housecoats - the primary thing is always warmth.

 

[kittyP]

Oh farmerbarleymow thank you so much for the help!
It arrived today and its brilliant, so cozy and fits well,plenty of room to wrap it well round me.
I'm over the moon, thank you xxx

Sounds good! Mine's meant to be delivered next week.

Ooh that looks like just the level of cosiness I'm after. With added jedi masterness.

I need a new winter dressing gown (the cats have been using my old one as warm bedding for long enough that even when freshly laundered it looks a bit wrecked!) - I can't afford a lot but am thinking about one that I saw in Morrison's the other day for £20. It's not really my sort of colour or design (it is kind of a dusky pink with hearts) but it's not like I'd be wearing it outdoors

 

[weltweit]

One of the belt hooks on mine is broken, caught again in a door, I know I have to mend it but keep finding workarounds for using it (when I have to open it I put the belt in the pocket) rather than just getting my needles out and sewing it up.

 

[Ceej]

I have a baggy grey fleece one for the bedroom to bathroom and back walk. Ugly and unflattering, but soft and warm an 18 years old now.

I don't think you wear these dressing gowns. It's more a case of moving in to them. Me in my new home:

They are sooooo cosy huh!?

Although looking down at myself wearing the same thing as you is weird

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I've realised I've got a zip-up non-hood hoodie thing in almost the same type of material and similar in colour, but thicker. Got it cheap in the sale a few years ago in M & S - probably made by the same company.

Mine was like that for years. I eventually fixed after the embarrassment of having it pointed out to me by a stranger when I wore it in hospital.

It's halfway between a duvet and a dressing gown I reckon.

I reckon farmerbarleymow you and me would pass for monks if seen together.

I've got something very similar made by Brasher. Fleece-lined and outer material that's not a million miles off. Wouldn't be surprised if that's from the same source too.

A good dressing gown is essential wear for a British winter. No idea how people survive without them. I have a furry snug one... still wearing it now in fact cos not working today
