Lipstick dressing gown from Miss Selfridge - who else had it?

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Just browsing on asos and saw this blouse and was reminded of it.

God I loved that dressing gown - reminds me of getting ready to go out in my youth . . . So who else had it?

Me.

Ooh this brings back memories of being 19 & living in shared student house. I had the lipstick dressing gown and a dreadful girl who I shared with used to have her boyfriend to stay every single weekend. She was very odd & possessive, old way before her time & seemed convinced everyone would pounce on her beloved if he so much as saw another female. One day I was doing the washing up in kitchen wearing said dressing gown, she came in with boyfriend to cook a roast or something, saw me there, muttered 'tart' under her breath and left.. she was very odd. I left said dressing gown in my room over the long holidays, came back at start of next term, dressing gown had mysteriously gone for a walk and was never seen again. She'd stayed in the house and we assumed she'd taken such a dislike to it that she'd 'removed' it. So I went straight down to Miss S, bought another one, wore it in the kitchen and the look/double take she gave me when she saw it... I just knew it was her who had taken it. Put a lock on my door after that. Happy (and odd) memories..

Wow 101 - what a fruitloop your flatmate was.

Oh it was such a nice dressing-gown - really wish I'd kept it

I didn't have one, but I love the clothing nostalgia thread!

Me - and the nightie that went with it, plain white with one kiss on a pocket.

Oh now I've got nightie envy.

Those were the days - getting ready for nights out - glass of peach concorde in hand . . .

I wanted one but it was too indulgent for me in those skint studenty days. I had the triangular make up set with 3 levels in it though. I still have the massive face powder brush and still use it! God I loved miss selfridge.

I had one :). Loved it.

Other favourites from Miss S included Iron Lady lipstick and Black Pool eyeshadow.

Me,me,me,me,I had it,AND the matching box of tissues !!!

I loved that dressing gown...............

Me! I loved it - perfect length etc. I also had Iron Maiden lippy and Copper Knockers.

Me! I thought I was sooo grown up.

I too used to love Miss Selfridge. Remember being so jealous of rich friend whose dad took her there and just let her get piles of new stuff - well it seemed like piles of stuff at the time

They should re-issue that dressing gown - I'd buy it again [mutton]

I loved that dressing gown. my older sister had it and I was very jealous. I saw someone wearing Twilight Teaser in very trendy Dalston recently. I used to wear it to the school disco and not look remotely trendy.

I have a pic of me wearing it! My friends and I were getting ready for a night out and were swanning around doing our make up and hair while in our goonies. My mum thought it was hilarious !

I had it, and had Iron Maiden lippy!

me, me, me!! My brother bought it for me and I loved it, again would buy it again it it came out

We were all obviously just so cool

My mum had one!
Sorry guys

Well your mum was clearly very fashionable. And you are probably very young.

Oh yes, I had one (mid 80s) .It was short and very thin material. Not the best gown for living in Glasgow.

The blonde haired nurse in Brookside had a towelling one

And they had cleanser called Kiss and Make-Up or something.

I had it and loved it so much. I got it for Christmas when I was 13, after seeing a cool character wearing it in one of those Play for Today things. It was hanging in threads when I binned it seven years later.

I still google it now and then.

My big sister had one. I was very very jealous. And she had a perm and a boyfriend called Julian.

i also had bright pink skin tight jeans from Bennetton which I thought were oooh soo cool!!

Oh will someone link it, I want to see this thing of elegance and beauty! I've never heard of it until now (probs too young!).
