How old is your dressing gown ?

[WinterBerry40]

Mine is probably 20 years old and is from BHS which in itself has been closed for years .
I have had others in that time but always defer back to old faithful and the newer ones end up going to charity shops .
How old is yours ?

23 years, I bought it as my DP was coming over to stay the night for the first time. It’s ankle length, tartan print and very cosy.

George white towelling one that's also about 20yrs old. Still perfect. I wear it after showering as it dries so well. Have an oodie to lounge in as well

I think mines about 18 years old and it was a tenner in next.

It dates back to at least 2014 when the local Debenhams closed, so at least 11 years but could be up to 14. It’s. John Rocha one and is a quality you don’t often find ‘these days’. I have got a newer one but the old faithful fleecy always comes out in winter

At least 20 years old, It's a massive, heavy cotton towelling, men's ankle length Calvin Klein one that I bought secondhand from a jumble sale in a posh area more than 15 years ago for 40p. It's had a few repairs now but I love it, it might be my favourite item of clothing, I will wear it until I can see through it or until it sees me out.

Wow. I hate the ones with a hood and have a slinky one when guests are staying and a very comfy one that I use early evening and I love it

I have a thin jersey short one. It came as a set with sleeping shorts and vest top. Those have since been recycled, but the dressing gown remains. I'm guessing about 8 years old.

I like that it has 3/4 sleeves since my hands are always in the kitchen sink! Nothing worse than wide sleeves getting into your jam toast.

I have one that is around 20 years old. My eldest DC gave it to me for Christmas one year. It’s pale blue with polar bears on it. Probably from Asda. I have a blue satin one that I bought for honeymoon when I married their dad so that is coming up for 27 years old! Considering it’s satin which is prone to pulls, it’s as new! Also have a very thick winter one (around 15 years old) and a cooler waffle/cotton one that’s around 15 years old. So they’re all old! 😂

I just bought one the other day, have never had one before

The one that I’m wearing right now is 10 years old from M&S it’s a light weight fleece one. I have a towelling autograph one that’s 8 years old bought in the sale for £11 and I have a flannel checked with Sherpa lining from Fat face that’s about 3 years old it’s really warm so only wear on the coldest mornings.

I have one of the brahmaki September sky original kaftans, got about a 6 months ago, I love it, wearing it now and they make it to your size and length,

19 or 20 y.o.
DSis gave it to me as a present. I only wear it occasionally to bathroom and back. I had another warm one which I wore regularly in the mornings. It survived about 15 years.

Mine is about 23-24 years old. Beautiful quality cotton yukata someone brought for me from Japan. Amazingly, still great colour and looks great!

I hate fluffy dressing gowns. Make me feel sad.

Mine was a present from Grandpa in law. He died when DS was nearly 1. DS is now 14 so at least 13 years if not more.

About 25 years old. I bought it when I was pregnant and used it on the post-natal ward.

Ah bless her! 😂

Hope you have a lovely Christmas 🎅🏼 🌲

I find them too hot and they keep coming undone. I have a light blue one that I never wear, but husband does when his ancient m and s one is in the wash.

I bought it for hospital when I was pregnant so it must be 12. I saw a gorgeous one in M&S this year so I gave mine a very hard stare, but there really isn’t any reason to replace it.

I got a new one last year - pink and burgundy striped towelling from Next. Before that I had a lightweight waffle type one DP bought me from Debenhams, about 15 years ago.

I like wearing my oodie for warmth if I am knocking about the house (although it’s so massive it’s dangerous!). I mainly wear my dressing gown first thing to feed the cat/sort the litter tray/make tea on work days before getting in the shower.

My dressing gown is also from BHS bought over 10 years ago for hospital when expecting DC. Never wore it and probably never will because its massive and weighs a ton.

I don't have one.

im short (not quite 5ft) a bit 'tubby' and large of nork. They just don't work on me.

my mum has a cotton summer one from 'st Michael's' 🤣 that looks new & has been worn for at least 8 months if the year for almost 50 years (😲😲😲) and a slightly heavier one that's worn the rest of the year (which is probably the same age & probably St Michael's too, which also looks as good as new.

they certainly don't make clothes like that anymore!

All adult dressing gowns or house coats, in this house predate the kids!!!

I reckon there is at least 1 which is 25 years old and the “youngest” is probably at least 16 years old!!!

About 8 years. It's a fleecy aubergine one with a hood from Tesco. I don't even love the colour but its just so cosy.

6 or 7 years.

Mine is about 17.

At Christmas I go to my mums and wear my nan's one. It's over 70. Button down, quilted, long. A real treat.
