TwinSetAndPearls · 05/08/2005 00:39

Was joking about the turban, but would like a long kaftan. A more glamourous option for lounging than sweatpants and over sized t shirt.

lunachic · 05/08/2005 00:43

yep that is a beaut kaftan but think my dp would crack a few jokes at me in it !! would like one for beach wear if we ever get to go on holiday !!

TwinSetAndPearls · 05/08/2005 00:45

Dp has looked in disgust and amusement already!

this thread went mad

lunachic what a crazy site you found, shopnational, is like a time warp,

I found two genuine 60s/70s housecoats of my mother's - husband nearly puked when I modelled the blue splodgy flowery one (although the green swirly one was far worse). Do you reckon they'd do well on ebay? ;)

TwinSetAndPearls · 07/08/2005 15:59

give them a whirl, I may even bid on them myself. Is it bad enough to repulse a randy dog???

hermykne · 07/08/2005 19:09

jes** twinset only read your other thread re your dog problem because of the bitch in the title! obviously thinks u really are a bitch,
it is a male dog? skimmed the thread

hermykne - you could try one of those shops that supplies nurses/cleaners etc. Trying to think of the right name for that type of shop but failing - they do fairly plain 'housecoat' type things like a chambermaid wears - not so floral as some of those in the links but they do the job!!

hermykne · 07/08/2005 22:04

zippy good idea, but i have to admit i like the look of those floral ones! kitschy trashy thats me!
