I be considering a third...

[Letthenamesbegin]

Dressing gown
So I have two lovely ones - one for literally putting on when I get out of the bath (hote style white one).
Then I have a big fluffy thing which I wear say when I get up and it’s cold over my pyjamas - or sling on over clothes of it’s chilly.

My dilemma is - I can’t dry my hair with either on - the fiddly hoods get in the way. I hate putting on clean pyjamas just for sitting and drying my hair, nor do I like getting dressed before hair is dry... I can never get a towel to stay wrapped round me when drying hair either. So WIBU to buy a little silky type one without a hood just for this purpose?

Yanbu, a silky dressing gown is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Every woman should experience the joy of slinking around her house in a silky dressing gown once and a while.

*once in a while, rather!

I was going to say YABU until I remembered I have a third and it’s a silky number. Does a totally different job.

I’ve never had one with a hood!

YANBU. Get one. And then tell me what you get as I’d like one too

I’ve never seen the point in the hoods (well if you’re older than 5), but it seems that most of the bathrobe style ones always have a hood attached - bloody annoying

Just noticed the typo in my original post - makes me sound like a pirate!

YANBU. In fact a little summery dressing gown is just what I need come to think of it. Where's a good place to find such a garment any ideas?

This is a US site but they shop here and they are LOVELY and reasonably priced.

Balls. I’m gonna end up ordering a new one now.

Also, sizes are great - I’m a 22 and it fits wonderfully.

Those are lovely! Having said that - seeing the photos has reminded me that I do have a silky one knocking around some where - sadly it has “bride” written on the back in diamanté’s (present)

@parotfashionista - oh gosh why have you introduced me to that site! feels a spending spree coming on

I have a huge red fleecy effort with a hood that I consider my winter/feeling down/got a cold dressing gown. And then I have a silky one - I got it from Asda, strangely enough, but it's gorgeous and I've had it for years. YANBU.

I'm just back from checking on Asda funny enough Bishop, and they have some nice ones on there. cheap as chips too!

For winter I have a big fluffy dressing gown with hood. If I pull the hood up I virtually disappear and look a bit like Nanook of the North or Eskimo Nell but it's so snuggly I don't care

I also have a towelling robe and a silky one which I love in the summer.

I have one with a hood. I look like a heavyweight boxer

I also have a lovely lightweight one for wafting in.

I am currently staying in my parents' holiday home (not actual home!) and I was putting something away in the wardrobe earlier and noticed they have three dressing gowns each here. Given they're only here for a couple of months a year, that seems excessive. Your potential three dressing gowns seem perfectly reasonable compared to that!

I have a silk one which I pretty much only wear for those times I'm getting ready to go out and want to do my hair/ makeup/ finishing getting ready before I put my outfit on. I sometimes wear it to have breakfast on a summer's day as well.

It's the same one Nigella had a couple of seasons ago and it is perfect. It genuinely makes me feel like I have a more glamorous life.

It's one of these map ones (I've got the Paris and I think Nigella had the Venice), but they have some other beautiful ones on their site as well.

Oh - just seen parrotfashionista has already mentioned them!

Doesn’t silky type material make you sweaty? It does me

I have one dressing gown but would like a second for wet tones.
