Bathrobe help - what about this?

[Jewelsandgems]

I want a new bathroobe/dressing gown. I wear one every morning for breakfast and then get dressed to it needs to be able to stand some wear. However, I am choosy and do not want massive towelling thing with flappy sleeves that end up in the marmelade.

I thought this:
here but think it could look really nice on their model, shit on me.

Or also like:
this one

DH will be buying it for me, so no need to both so much on cost, but if I can bring in under £100 that would be ideal.

Thanks

The velvet one is gorgeous, nothing like a bit of glamour over the cornflakes

I got a 15% off code from white co the other day if you want it.

I have last years version of the boden one and I love it.

I love the way it doesn't look like a dressing gown, I wear it during the day over my jeans and top so I don't have to put the heating on.

Boden one doesn;t wash, which would be a dealbreaker for me

I like the White Co £48 velour one thus but I suspect I am less sophisticated (and more likely to end up covered in porridge) than you...

[Jewelsandgems]

Greyskull how do you wash yours? And what is the fit like? Do you have it wrapped around quite a bit, or just a little?

MrsB yes, I do agree re the washing (hence question as per above) and agree the non machine washing is a bugger. The velour one would be perfect without the hood - I am not a fan of hoods.

verity I do love the harlow one and also have the 15% discount code (but thanks anyway) but my only worry is that it may be too slipprty and always be slipping open

Perhaps there is a combination of all my requirements out there? Any suggestions very welcome

I rummaged through my usual nightwear suspects (Toast, Carma, Bodas) but none are as nice as your choices....

I wash mine on a wool wash and it has been fine. it reshapes well.
it can wrap round (am large lady) if I want it to but also hangs nicely like an open cardi if I want it to.

I just got this year's BOden one and I am in love. I may never take it off. I actually have only removed it to sleep since it arrived yesterday.

There's absolutely no reason you can't wash it - I was all my wool, cashmere, and wool blends on the handwash cycle with woolite. Dry flat on towels spread on the floor or if you have a spare bed on the spare bed (on towels, again, of course!). WIll be absolutely fine. Never taken a single one to the drycleaner.
