Does a stylish dressing gown exist?

Or does everyone look like a fat flump in one?

Is it possible to be warm and stylish?

No. Embrace being warm and comfortable Smile

It's all in the way you wear it Grin

Not really!

Just be cosy. Or maybe. Um. Bond in a smoking jacket? Barbara cartland?

Yes. I got a pull on one from TK Maxx. Its quite thin compared to most pull ons, but by god is it cosy 🔥.
Its long and lean Im not and makes me look thin it doesn't Im deluded

I really want one that is long, has long sleeves and you can really wrap yourself in it without it being a button down affair from M&S. Soft one, not towel! Not Oodie

Youcancallmeval · 31/10/2021 22:12

I have one from Very Kerry. It's not warm but I'm hot in it (not really, but it is very beautiful and I feel very happy when I wear it!)

Sounds like the one I bought from Asda.

Oooh yes! Not cheap though. www.versace.com/fr/fr-fr/home-collection/ 😂😬

NiceGerbil · 31/10/2021 22:24

Crikey those are nasty!

Freezingtoocold · 31/10/2021 22:30

userxx the only one they have in my size (22) comes up small on the reviews. Will keep trying. I have a Tesco one that’s ok but sleeves are too short.

slug · 31/10/2021 22:31

Don't know how warm these are but I want all of them

I wonder if this is where the bbc used to buy Del Boys dressing gowns from in only fools and horses 🤣
AdoraBell · 31/10/2021 22:41

slug those robes are beautiful, I’m suddenly coveting the empire blue one 🤦‍♀️

Hope you find something suitable OP

AdoraBell · 31/10/2021 22:42

Imperial blue not empire 🤦‍♀️

DrRamsesEmerson · 31/10/2021 22:42

I love my Shibumi one. Silk cashmere, Venetian red, knee length (I'm too short for their full length ones). I saw someone on here rave about them and I'm a total convert.

didireallysaythat · 31/10/2021 22:43

@slug and @NaturalBlondeYeahRight oh wow. Just wow.

I might need.to buy the matching castle but it would be so worth it

Thank you.

My favourite PJs and dressing gowns are from Liberty, Derek Rose and Desmond and Dempsey - any of these take your fancy?

What is the sizing like on the shibumi ones? I’ve wanted one for ages and might see if it’s possible as have a significant birthday coming up. But it says M is 10-14 and L is 14-18 and I’m a size 14 so not sure which size to go for…

StarJumpAlertTakeCover · 31/10/2021 23:44

Try onehundredstars. Absolutely lovely. I have the Barcelona one (eldest lives there).

ShaunaTheSheep · 31/10/2021 23:57

I wouldn't forgo soft, long, wraparound fleece...but swerve pastels and naff patterns in favour of a dark colour. Bonus - it won't show the tea stains Grin

YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie · 01/11/2021 06:16

Also following for shibumi size advice. Those look BEAUTIFUL. Agree about needing a castle to swan around in them though

Also interested. They look beautiful....but are they warm? 🥶

I have a hooded toweling thing from boden like the kids swim ones ( like a long hoody basically) Love it. I hate belts on dressing gowns. They are so frumpy and get on my nerves.
Not sure if they do them for adults anymore but could search for one of those.

Twilightstarbright · 01/11/2021 07:38

I had a cashmere dressing gown from the Rosie autograph range at M&S. a world away from the fluffy one I’m wearing now!
