Product specifications

Please note: the measurements shown are for this model, taken from the garment itself — not a range average. That is what lets you choose on figures rather than on a photo.

Fastening Zip

Hood No

Colours Black

Care Machine wash at 40°C. Tumble dry low or line dry — it will crease either way, and that is normal.

What cotton actually does — in a housecoat

Start with what the garment is for: a housecoat buttons through and holds its line — it is the one you can open the door in. Cotton is the natural fibre everything else is measured against: it breathes, it takes a hot wash, and it does not hold on to smells the way a synthetic does. That is the difference between a cotton robe and one that only looks the part.

In use it shows up as one thing: it breathes properly — no clamminess after twenty minutes, which is what makes it the sensible choice for a warm bedroom. There is more of this in our dressing gowns for elderly ladies range.

Where a women's robe usually fails — in a housecoat

Women ask about the cut through the shoulder and where the belt sits at the waist before anything else, and they are right to — it is where most robes fall down. That is also what our ladies dressing gowns zip up range is for.

It takes a hot wash — 60°C when it needs it, without the fabric giving up
It stays comfortable against skin all day — the reason it is the default for anyone with sensitive skin
A full-length zip — faster than a belt and it stays shut, which matters most on a child who will not stand still
Belt loops that hold the belt — a small thing, and the first thing missing on a cheap robe

Living with cotton, week after week — in a flat with no tumble dryer — between one winter and the next

Cotton creases, and it takes longer to dry than a synthetic. Neither matters much on a dressing gown, but it is worth knowing before you buy. Machine wash at 40°C. Treated that way, a cotton housecoat lasts five winters rather than one — the difference between a robe you keep on the back of the door and one you replace every autumn. That is also what our zip up dressing gown range is 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

Take your usual UK size. It is cut loose so it goes over nightwear without pulling, and the belt takes up the rest. If you are between sizes, or if you want to wear it over a jumper, take the larger one. Full measurements are in the size guide above the buy button.

Pure cotton. In the hand it is breathable, soft and honest. In use that means it is it breathes properly.

Machine wash at 40°C. Tumble dry low or line dry — it will crease either way, and that is normal.

Cotton breathes, so it very rarely feels stuffy indoors. In a cold house it is a layer rather than a solution.
