Dressing gowns/bathrobes?

[ohnonotshoppingagain]

Just putting this out there for feedback/suggestions.
I have for the past several months, been looking for a lovely feminine bathrobe, preferably towelling and also a dressing gown/housecoat that we used to see a lot. Instead all we see on QVC and elsewhere these ugly very bulky fleecy type oversized cover ups/blankets. Why? Maybe have one for very cold nights if you choose not to have heating on (not me) these are ugly and if you have balance problems downright dangerous. I just switched Q on this morning and there they are again.
The days if being and looking feminine seem to be over, such a shame. Meantine I still look for a lively towelling bathrobe that does not say “one size” as well as a beautiful classy dressing gown/housecoat.

It's almost impossible to get a towelling bathrobe these days, they all seem to be that plush fleece material, anything remotely feminine is lacy or satiny which is not very practical or warm enough for the season. Housecoats? I haven't seen one of those for years. Carole Hochman on QVC I would've thought was a good bet but checking out her range it seems that she's gone down the fleece/satin route. It might be worth checking out the website "not on the highstreet" they've got a huge range of robes, they're not the cheapest but they're a bit different.

yes done all that hence my post. Some places still call them housecoats of course. I did see one beauty that I liked but it was almost £200 which I’m not prepared to spend.

All styles here, I’m tempted! I was nagged by my daughter to get rid of my towelling robe, I resisted as it still washed well and the belt never slipped. I caved but still miss it, it had a good weight to it too.

I have some beautiful robes from Long Tall Sally, but no good if you’re not over 5’ 10”!

They’re velour, hooded, and elegant which is lucky as I live in them!

But as someone said White Company have some nice ones depending on your budget!

I remember those flowery nylon housecoats, most women seemed to wear them around the house MANY years ago.

I do too . Static electricity, fear of spontaneous combustion and never walking past candles or using a gas cooker whilst wearing it

I’ve had a couple and sent them back wrong sizing also not good quality. I like a towelling robe bcause I would rather wear one than a towel after my shower, been that way for many years.

my problem is sizing I need 22 as much as I love Marks very limited sizing if 22 or over same with raincoats. I had major surgery in 2004 which means to join anything around my tummy/abdomen I need 22 or 24 sadly. It saved my life but ruined my body shape in my middle causing me since a great many problems.

Yes I know the kind you mean I had those in my teens and twenties but have to say they were great to wear.
