Dark lightweight dressing gown?

As above. 34 weeks and starting to think about packing a hospital bag. Don't want to take a fleecy dressing gown and ideally want a black lightweight one to hide stains, but I can't seem to find any anywhere!!

Anyone seen some around?

Happy Mama look up their website, I’m still using my dressing gown from there, it’s cheap and the fit/ weight perfect

I had this one from Debenhams

Light and cool, did the job perfectly. I didn't wear it in hospital though, it was far, far too hot for another layer. Make sure you take light buttoned pjs or nightie.

I managed to get a mothercare m2b navy blue knee length one from ebay for £4! No love lost if it gets grubby. I had a short one last time and regretted it when I had to shuffle about with a catheter

I got mine in menswear

H&M do dark linen dressing gowns that might work. The wards are very war though, so you may find you’ll be ok just in dark pjs.

*warm!

I got mine from new look. It's a thin cotton one and I went for a large maternity size so it didnt feel tight post c section. I would get it as cheap as you can as I had 9 days in hospital (I was unwell and DD was in special care) and I ended up throwing out a lot of stuff because It got stained or smelly.

I also got a happy mama one off ebay - not a fan on the material but it’s cheap and I’ll be throwing it after.

Thanks everyone. I've just put a happy mama order in. Website a nightmare to navigate but relatively cheap and cheerful. Have ended up ordering loads of different things with the intention of sending all but one item back, as they do sets too which is handy
