Its a housecoat

[Helplessandheartbroke]

Dressing gowns are silky and posh like Hugh hefner style. Warm fluffy housecoats are housecoats not dressing gowns.....

Bathrobe - towelling for after a shower
Dressing gown - fluffy or cotton thing worn with PJs
House coat - thin cotton type worn to protect clothing when cleaning
Robe - silky thing that posh people and sex fiends wear

What she said

Dressing gown here. No one around me would call anything a housecoat tbh. A sexy silky thing would be a robe.

You go online and do a search for "house coat" 😀

Excellent list.

May I add:
Tabard - worn to protect clothes, a long-lost sleeveless affair made of a single length with a hole for the head, fastened with strips of fabric and press studs somewhere around the waistline. Last seen as part of supermarket staff uniforms in the 80s.

Oo an excellent addition

im so tempted to order one of these for painting

Aye. Agree with this. Also Scottish

I shall add this rather stylish attire

I’m Glaswegian and it’s always been a housecoat. I remember my mum wearing her peeny.

Yes so agree. My mum’s best friend still wore hers every day when she did her housework when I last saw her five years ago.

My dressing gown is thick fleeced and snuggly. I have heard people say it is a morning coat too.

This!!
@Helplessandheartbroke WRONG

what you describe IS. a dressing gown. Lots of different styles.

Good description here and zips!

Never heard anyone referring to housecoats - I'm in the south east of England.

I have dressing gowns: light ones for warmer weather, nice warm cosy ones for winter and I wear them when I get up in the morning before I get dressed.

Northern. Dressing gown if it wraps around and has a belt. Housecoat is more fitted and what women wore over clothes to protect from dirt while cleaning.

I've just done a search for "house coat" and to my suprise the first offerings were all dressing gowns.

It's seems I missed yet another important meeting.

Like others, my nanna and granny both wore house coats which were thin, nylon, blue and white (or pink and white) check, poppers down the front long-sleeved garments that went over their normal clothes when doing housework.

The fluffy or toweling thing, hooded or not, with a tie belt that you wear before/after bath or over pyjamas I've always known as a dressing gown or bathrobe.

I'm in SE England, nanna from County Durham, Granny Welsh, so I grew up with those linguistic influences.

You could not BE more wrong, OP.

And I bet I'm more northerly than you.

A pinny! My granny had one.

Did she never put her goonie on with her nightie and baffies? 😆 🤣 xxx

My gran used to wear a house coat for doing housework. It was a thin nylon affair with a collar and she wore it over her normal clothes when she was cleaning.

Scottish here and I have a lovely thick fluffy one, cotton floral summer one and a satin Japanese style one and there all called my goonie 😆 🤣 (dressing gown)

Same. Just the word makes me want to vomit.

My parents called it a h....c... when I was little. Shudders.

My glaswegian mother in law calls it hoosecoat 😆

I get supplied with three new lab coats per year at work, so have plenty of old ones for coveralls at home, they’re really good for certain jobs around the house, you can get a a lab coat easily online it’s the same thing but plain
