House Coat

[topsi]

I fancy one! My Nan used to wear an old blue nylon one, but I wondered if anyone out there knew where I could get one, maybe a retro type.
Wierd idea, but I hate it when I have nice clothes on then have to cook dinner or do a touch of house work (only a touch!).
It would seem loke a practical solution to have a house coat hung up somewhere that I could sling on.

Here you go

[LowLevelWhiinging]

This one's nice

[usualsuspect]

ooh nice velvet trim on this one

[nowherewoman]

Do you mean a tabard?

[topsi]

Oh dear god my eyes, my eyes!!!
Most of them are like dressing gowns, quite like your offering Tether

[topsi]

Oh my lord, I will look like a volunteer worker at the local hospital.

[Lakota]

I know what you mean - really thin nylon, with sleeves, usually a blue or maroon check? All gran types and elderly neighbours had them when I was little.

[nowherewoman]

Is that not the look you were after then?

[topsi]

Yeah they just seem like a practical solution, just that I have bought some nice clothes recently and am worried about splashing them with loo cleaner or the like.
Maybe I will start a new trend and we will all be wearing blue house coats and head scarfs while scrubbing down our front door steps!

[Lakota]

Ooh, how about this? Too sweaty for housework?

[topsi]

I am not sure of the look I am after Nowhere just been trying to find a solution to my dilema.

[usualsuspect]

like this

[topsi]

OMG Lakota I love it shame about the plastic elememt though!

[topsi]

Price is good Usual but I would feel like a cleaner. Can one not be elegent and a good house wife at the same time?

[usualsuspect]

sexy

[usualsuspect]

last one

[topsi]

Lovely usual but I can see that 2 people are bidding on that delectable item already and I don't want to be disapointed.

[topsi]

OMFG!

[LowLevelWhiinging]

what's wrong with an apron?

[missbeehiving]

topsi - no, no, no.

You are clearly a desperate woman - but has it really come to this?

There must be something else you can try. What about just stopping cleaning?

[topsi]

Hostess gown!
I am not sure LowLevel just lacks style I think, also doesn't cover the arms.

[topsi]

Yes have tried that Missbee but the DH gets p**d off!
There must be an answer to keeping my slacks clean whilst I Ajax the sink!

[ASecretLemonadeDrinker]

I want one! I always get somethin on me when cleaning, so usually change into joggers but would prefer one of these! + one for answering the door when I am in a nightie (dressing gowns flap open alot). My aunt wears a blue velvet quilted one & she is beyond cool ... seriously!
