Dressing gown.

[Gorja]

Can anybody recommend a really warm dressing gown? I live in an old drafty house and I’m sick of being cold. I want a long, full length, really warm dressing gown. I don’t care what it looks like I just want to be warm. Thanks.

I have a brilliant one from online home store. It’s floor length (I have to lift it up going up stairs or I’ll trip) and so warm I can only wear it on winter mornings as it makes me too warm! I think it was only about £20, I wasn’t expecting much but it surpassed my expectations.

An Oodie dressing gown. I don’t have the dressing gown but I have the blanket/ poncho thing and it’s so warm and cosy.

I’ve had the dressing gown and really didn’t rate it. Not long enough and not warm enough.

Thanks, I shall look there.

Best to get a zipped one or oodie style - less draughty than a wrap over style

Thanks. Really don’t like Oodie style. Tried loads but prefer a wrap over with belt.

Oh my gosh! I just bought (after asking for gift vouchers for a big birthday as it is quite pricey) a wool dressing gown. It's made by a company called Canelana. They specialise in wool coats for dogs and people. This dressing gown is seriously the warmest thing ever. Good pockets too. Highly recommend.

Ooh. That looks promising. Thank you.

My mother used to get hers from Damart. She swore by them and my mother was never wrong!

lol. Just like my mother!!

Go for a man's fleece version, usually thicker and longer, cheaper too!

I bought a Rosie from M&S one of it’s floor length and is made from lovely thick fabric.

I have a lovely full length velvety black one with a hood from figleaves I love it

Another vote for the Oodie dressing gown, really warm.

I have a lovely hooded one that I bought a few years ago from Next/Scion. My top tip would be to buy it bigger than your size so you can overlap it when you wrap it or wear layers underneath. I also live in a cold house!

I got a very warm one from M&S. Mine’s a fleecy one, pale golden beige with a discreet star pattern on it and a hood. I was freezing in the Winter but this dressing gown is so warm that I sometimes have to take it off! It also has a hood. It’s the warmest dressing gown I’ve ever had.

I have the Rosie dressing gown from marks and Spencer’s. Had it a few years but I think they still do it or a newer version, mine is still in amazing condition. I’m 5’6 and it’s down to my ankles. Big fluffy hood. It’s like having a warm hug!
