100 stars dressing gowns

[peachypetite]

I want to treat myself to a lightweight dressing gown. Does anyone have one of these? Which one? Are they worth the money?

If you like a kimono/gown that you can throw in the washing machine then this wouldn’t be for you-it’s is definitely a hand wash one.

I want luxury, not sensible

I am wearing a 100 Stars apron right now. Love it. It was my lockdown treat to myself - we are doing a lot of baking and now I can feel glam while I’m doing it!

I also bought the lounge pants for a gift for a friend, and she was thrilled.

you are all such a bad influence - I was deliberating over one a few weeks ago and then I just read this, and I've bought it!

I think I’m going to opt for Venice

I was deliberating the burgundy moorish one a few weeks ago and it's now sold out. So I've gone for Venice too.

I have 2 short kimonos and a knee length one I use as a dressing gown.
Absolutely love them. Contemplating getting a willow pattern one at the moment.

I have this one www.bijouled.co.uk/clothing-c6/one-hundred-stars-parrot-dressing-gown-p10432

Anyone know how long the evening coat is? I'm a short arse.

@MotherForkinSirtBalls I'm 5ft almost 2 and the evening coat is a few inches above my ankle.

Is there something to these that can be chucked in the washing machine?

No they aren’t for the machine @cheesycrisps

I put mine in the machine tbh but it's looking pretty tatty as a result!

Meant to say something similar to these, sorry. Another brand that can be washed. I love the prints but the hand washing isn't practical hence the washing machine question.

I wash mine in the machine on a 30 then give them an iron and they come up like new.

I’ve just ordered two things off then back of this thread! Does anyone use the hand wash cycle on the mashing?

@thinkle what did you buy?

GreyHare Well that's some dangerous knowledge

I too throw mine in the washing machine ... I have the Venice one

@peachypetite I got the trousers in one of the Kew patterns coral background (thinking gold sandals) and a short kimono same pattern but grey. Not to be worn together... probably...

Delicate wash in the machine

I have a long dressing gown that I bought in the sale about six months ago. Really like it. It seems pretty practical to me. I've also got their pyjamas.

I have just received my Paris map 100 Stars kimono and I must confess I am really disappointed with it. It is very thin material - like a really old silk scarf that is nearing the end of its life - and the print is okay but not as nice as I was expecting. It is so thin that I can't really see myself ever wearing it. I tried it on over a fitted black top and jeans, and it looked okay I guess, but nothing special. Certainly not worth £39.99.

I agree. Disappointing. Going back.

I think they are great as long as you are expecting something very diaphanous. I bought a pale geeen and pink cherry blossom dressing gown a few years ago. It only gets worn in Summer with a pale green satin slip from. M and S underneath. It's pretty but very insubstantial. My verykerry cotton kimono is equally beautiful but much more robust in cotton and gets wear all year round except in the depths of Winter.
