Warm dressing gown

I admit I can't face trawling through lots of sites but the trend so far is either very long or very short. I'm 5ft 1 so when it's round the ankles of a 6 ft mode, it's a no go.

Also dark colours are lacking, I suppose I'll look at men's stuff. Grr.

I’m shorter than you, and I always buy the men’s Matalan one. It’s long, cosy and a maroon colour. They might have other colours, I bought this on sale last year.

You could take it up? Hemming is really not hard, and you can use the existing hem as a measure point so it will hang straight. Use a set square or a wide rule to get an accurate mark up from the hem, and then draw between the pints for your line.

👿 points even. Though a pint of something might be used as an incentive.

I know you said dressing gown but oodies are amazing to keep you warm! (I think they may do dressing gowns too) cheap versions aren't the same real oodies have a good amount of weight to them to keep you warm, am 5.1 too and it comes to my knee!

I'll have a pint of mojito thanks!

I'm looking at knee length but think I have found something now looking at men's, will be more mid calf but that's okay. Men's ranges seem to have better basics whereas women's are all about what's on trend, I hope the oversize trend ends soon!
