Dressing gowns/housecoats

I also hate wrap arounds and I also do not like dressing gowns with zips so that leaves me with very little choice. I do have 3 which button, the minor problem is that they are all blue but not the same style. I have had them for years but eventually they will wear out.

I loathe wrap around dressing gowns. Added to that I don't do 'prints'. Plus I don't do pastels.
I have a black velvet one with a hood and a maroon one that is trimmed with satin down the zip/collar/cuffs.

I too loathe the warp around dressing gowns but do not really want to go down the buttoned or zipped 'house coat' look......what a friend of mine called 'care home chic'. In summer I use a cotton kaftan and find it very useful as you look halfway decent if the postie is very early. Have yet to find a suitable winter version. My other gripe is about the colours ......so often its pink pale blue or that weird washed out green colour that makes me look quite corpse like........thankfully M&S have been using a darker blue/grey that's acceptable and I have a couple of their long nighties that are made out of fine cotton jersey - wish they would make a matching all enveloping dressing gown to match.

Mine is green and white striped fleece, knee length and wrap around. I love it

There are some cotton or fleece housecoats for sale on American websites, but can't find any UK ones.

oops meant silky!!

Anyway I have just found some lovely ones at www.davidneiper.com but not cheap- probably well made and an investment.

I sympathise about trying to find a dressing gown that isn't either towelling or a fleece or sickly and not warm enough. Whatever happened to nice traditional dressing gowns. I've been trying to find one too.

I like the zip up towelling ones that you can put straight on after a bath or shower. I used to get mine from Damart but they don't seem to do them any more. Any suggestions?

I haven’t seen the zip or button up ones in the shops for years, try looking online.

I don’t mind being a fur ball....very soft and comfy.

Marks do a very nice navy blue, button up dressing gown. I agree about wrap round ones and might add the Marks one to my Christmas list!

I have a Lands End fleece one with a zip. Straight and plain no lumpy bunching ☺

M&Co have some in different prints. They appear to be on offer. HERE THEY ARE

Marks have one or two with a zip, would that help?
