Anyone seen extra long towelling dressing gowns about?

Sorry, not really stylish but you lot know clothes shopping. I desperately need a new dressing gown but I need it to be towelling (not sweaty polyester fleece), not white or pastel (looks grubby almost instantly) and long (ideally ankle length - I am 5'7). I've googled and browsed all the usual sources but no joy so wondered if you'd seen anything? I had the most gorgeous purple hooded robe several years ago from Debenhams I think and I still miss it...

Have you tried la redoute or Christy?

Not sure how long this is

Thanks @YesQueen - I saw those but the Christie's one would be just below knee length on me and the White Company one is going to look grotty almost immediately (I've got a cat and speak from experience!)

Are you looking at women's nightwear or men's? You might have more success colourwise in the men's.

Here. Long tall sally.

I'm 5. 10 and I've got a dressing gown from here and it's easily ankle length

@cheeserolls that would be perfect if it wasn't white

@redexpat I looked at men's and they mostly seemed shorter than women's (though better colours, yes).

Ah, sorry missed the not white bit. Hope you find one.

The Long Tall Sally one is 100% cotton so you should be able to dye it (if you can't find anything else). Wish I'd thought of looking there last year I spent hours browsing for a full length dressing gown

I bought a White Company dressing gown and dyed it. It’s ankle length on me (5’ 4”).

I’ve got this long hooded one from the White Company and it’s lovely quality. Mine is a darker mauve colour though. The one they are selling now might be a bit light for you but I bet they bring out more colours in the run up to Christmas. I’ve just washed and tumble dried mine and it looks good as new and is still lovely and fluffy.

Sorry, forgot the pic!

I have bought very long, very thick towelling robes from Biju.co.uk but their webpage doesn’t seem to be working today.

I’ve just had the Mumsnet Swears By email and there’s a dressing gown section on there. There was a Cyberjammies one in magenta check that looked nice and a navy one from the White Company.

Inforthelonghaul · 07/09/2019 21:44

I have the Long Tall Sally one, I’ve had it at least 10 years. I wear it daily and wash it often but it’s virtually indestructible and will last another decade. Dye it if the whiteness bothers you but tbh it’s white enough and by far the best robe I’ve ever owned. I put mine on straight from the shower and just sort of dry off while I sort my hair out. The fact that’s its cotton means that it really is the same as wearing a towel and it tumble dries beautifully.

RedTitsMcGinty · 08/09/2019 22:19

Amazon do them. The one I got is out of stock but if you search “extra long” or “ankle length” you’ll find them. I’m 5’8 and it’s ankle length on me. Thick towelling, 100% cotton. I think I paid £45 for mine.

PancakeAndKeith · 08/09/2019 22:23

I’ve got the white version of this. It is huge. It’s really long even on my 6ft 4 DH. www.outofeden.co.uk/products/3500-146/terry-cotton-bathrobe-anthracite

Thanks @RedTitsMcGinty and @PancakeAndKeith
