    It dries you, it doesn't just cover you — the loops lift water off the skin, so you can go from the shower to the kettle without reaching for a towel first

    It gets softer with every wash — cotton loops open up over time — this is one of the few fabrics that is better in its second year than its first

    It handles a hot wash — the one fabric here you can wash at 60°C when someone in the house has been ill

    A hood on a robe — it keeps wet hair off the shoulders and off the back of the neck, which is the single thing that makes a robe worth keeping on after a bath

    One size. This one is cut generously and the belt adjusts, so it works from UK 8 to UK 18 — or, on a child, for the whole of the age range printed on the label.

    If you are taller than 5'10", check the length against the measurements in the photographs before you order.

    Overview

    add remove

    This is a girls towelling dressing gown chosen for how it wears, not how it photographs. Cotton woven into raised loops, exactly like a bath towel — which is the whole point of it. Here it is with a hood. In use: it dries you, it doesn't just cover you — the loops lift water off the skin, so you can go from the shower to the kettle without reaching for a towel first. Made for the ten minutes after a bath.

    • Fabric: cotton towelling
    • Texture: thick, absorbent and reassuringly heavy
    • Collar: hood
    • Fastening: self-tie belt
    • Sizes available: One size
    • Colours available: Grey
    • Best for: getting a child warm and dry straight out of the bath

    Towelling, and what it asks of you

    Towelling is woven with raised loops on both faces, and those loops are what hold water. It is the same construction as a bath towel, which is why a towelling robe dries you instead of sitting damp on top of you. That is the difference between a towelling robe and one that only looks the part.

    In use it shows up as one thing: it dries you, it doesn't just cover you — the loops lift water off the skin, so you can go from the shower to the kettle without reaching for a towel first. There is more of this in baby boy dressing gown.

    What people notice in the first week — with a hood

    Parents ask about how fast a wriggling baby can be got warm and dry before anything else, and they are right to — it is where most robes fall down. For more on this, browse baby towelling dressing gown.

    • It gets softer with every wash — cotton loops open up over time — this is one of the few fabrics that is better in its second year than its first
    • It handles a hot wash — the one fabric here you can wash at 60°C when someone in the house has been ill
    • A hood on a robe — it keeps wet hair off the shoulders and off the back of the neck, which is the single thing that makes a robe worth keeping on after a bath
    • Easy on, easy off — one hand on the shoulder and it is done, which is the whole test with a child who will not stand still

    Keeping towelling as it arrived — when it lives on the back of a door

    Towelling is heavy once wet, and it takes its time on the line. If you want something that dries in an hour, a waffle or a microfibre robe is the honest answer. The exact wash line is in the specifications above, so it is there when you need it. Treated that way, a towelling bathrobe is a five-winter garment rather than a one-season one — which is the difference between something you keep on the back of the door and something you replace every autumn. That is also what baby girl dressing gown is there for.

    What makes the difference

    The three traps of a badly chosen dressing gown

    • The fabric isn't named — Towelling, fleece, waffle and satin behave nothing alike — one dries you, one warms you, one drapes. Most listings just say "soft".
    • One length for everyone — Ankle or knee changes how warm it is and how easy it is to move in. It is rarely stated.
    • Sizing that guesses — "One size" on a garment you wrap around yourself, over nightwear, in winter.
    • Here, fabric and length are on every listing — Along with the fit, so you choose on facts rather than on a photo.

    Frequently asked questions

    What size should I take?

    keyboard_arrow_down
    add remove

    Go by age, and size up if you are between two. The robe is cut loose and the belt adjusts, so a size too big is worn for two winters and a size too small is worn for two weeks. The full age and height table is in the size guide above the buy button.

    What is it actually made of?

    keyboard_arrow_down
    add remove

    Cotton towelling. In the hand it is thick, absorbent and reassuringly heavy. In use that means it is it dries you, it doesn't just cover you.

    How do I wash it?

    keyboard_arrow_down
    add remove

    Machine wash at 40°C, tumble dry low. No fabric conditioner — it coats the loops and they stop absorbing.

    Will it be too warm indoors?

    Towelling is a warm fabric in its own right, and it is the one that keeps working when the bathroom is cold.
