Here is a challenge for you. I saw a lovely light weight kimono style floral print cotton robe in East recently online but actually does not look great in the flesh.Have been searching Internet for one but can't find anything,my thick fleecy m and s is too hot and unflattering.
Needs to be cotton ( not fleece or towelling) and floral.

I wear a Japanese nemaki (=lightweight gauze-lined cotton kimono) almost every morning in winter. It looks fantastic, very well made (have had it for 4 years and no wear and tear) and it's the coziest, snuggliest thing ever. The gauzy lining keeps me warm. And it's very flattering too. Mine is in a rare red on white floral pattern.

I got it from here www.nemaki.fi/ (Call them up - they speak English and I'm sure they'd send it overseas if you asked nicely). Or ask your local Japanese shop.

You could also trawl the eBay for "nemaki" and "yukata" (=unlined house dress).

I got a lovely cotton flowery one from the etsy site, came from US but was still cheap considering the postage.
loads here
