Ankle length dressing gown for the not yet ancient

25 replies

Ichangedmynameonce · 06/01/2022 23:32

I need a new one. My current one is ancient and hideous but its the warmest , cosisest garment known to woman kind.

Is it possible to get an ankle length, warm dressing gown and not look 118 years old?

If so please recommend.

Thank you

This looks pretty warm and long. Pink or black, though not all sizes available in both colours.

I want a coat this long, but I ride a bike and I might...die.

That looks nice, thank.you!

Ancient people don’t want ankle length dressing gowns - far too much danger of tripping over the hem!

I bought myself this one www.amazon.co.uk/Bathrobes-Nightdress-Thickened-Comfortable-Nightgown/dp/B09JC6LL71/ref=sr_1_5?crid=JMC95ODLNKHE&keywords=Star+pocket+dressing+gown&sprefix=star+pocket+dressing+gown%2Caps%2C84&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1641565075&sr=8-5

It is seriously soft and cosy with a zip so no accidently flashing the postie 😁

DD would love that!

I probably do still look like my Nan in it tbh, but I got mine from the Rosie range at M&S which makes me feel better Grin

Ichangedmynameonce · 08/01/2022 23:28

Mmm bit pricey for me but thanks for the suggestions 🙂.

My MIL kindly bought this for me at Christmas and I love it. In fact I’m wearing it now!

TheChosenTwo · 08/01/2022 23:41

Dh bought me a beautiful white waffle one from the white company but it’s just for going out to the hot tub in Grin I wouldn’t wear it in the house (I just don’t see when you would wear one?!) but it is long and does the job of keeping me warm!

I got this one for Christmas.It's not ankle length but long enough and it's very warm and cosy. It's a duskier shade of pink than the pic and the most luxurious one I've had. I don't think I look 118 just yet but I dont really care now I've got this.

Cheapies in primark and peacocks, my last full length leaopard print fleece one from peacocks lasted around 10 years i finally gave it up for the one i posted earlier

BoodleBug51 · 11/01/2022 10:04

DH bought me a cashmere one from the White Company at Christmas. It's ankle length, and essentially like a very long soft warm cardigan. I feel very glamorous in it and not embarassed to open the door to the postie.

I looked like Peppa Pig in the pink fluffy one I had before............ it was not flattering at all!

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 11/01/2022 10:15

White company . I’m 5ft 8 and l have this in
grey. I had a full length one, but walking upstairs in it with my hands full ( as they invariably are) wasn’t fun.

I have a couple from British Boxers; the quality is fantastic and they wash beautifully. They are belted rather than a zip but I buy them on the big side so I can wrap it right around me.

sunshinesupermum · 11/01/2022 10:37

Primark

JoyOrbison · 11/01/2022 10:41

The full length thick drssing diwn fron the Rosie range at M&S.. Fab.

Blush21 · 11/01/2022 10:42

Depends how tall you are. Recently bought one from long tall sally but I’m 5’9 and it hits just above ankles. Also a few on m and s that are longer but quite thick

minipie · 11/01/2022 10:48

Ooh watching. I have an ancient one by Elle that looks dreadful but I keep it as it’s full length and thin but warm (made of fleece). Looking for the same again.

I tried the White Company one but it wasn’t quite ankle length and was very bulky on me compared with my current one.

Like the look of the Biba one first mentioned.

minipie · 11/01/2022 10:50

Oh nooo just spotted the Biba one has a design all over it. Humph.

borntobequiet · 11/01/2022 10:51

I got such a thing in TKMAXX after looking for a while. It’s just above ankle length so I don’t trip over it. Mind you, I get most of my “wants” in TKMAXX after looking for a while. It’s practically a hobby.

Australia's most popular pj store

It's our summer so not much choice in warm gowns but this is nice and shops overseas.

notacooldad · 11/01/2022 11:11

No, there is no such thing!
I no longer bother with dressing gowns. I have never found one I like.
The exams shown on this thread have confirmed it for me!

Rosielil · 11/01/2022 13:31

M&S Rosie! I sent two back to the White Company and bought this at almost a third of the price. It might not be the most glamorous but it is soooo toasty and cosy.
