Ooooh! Lovin' A Zip Front Bathrobe!

ECBG — Sun, 04 Nov 2018 03:40:49 GMT

I ordered my very first zip front bathrobe from Miss Elaine. I've never had one before because I didn't want to drag it over my head. I got to the place I was pinning the wrap robe and I was cold because it seperated.

Love this!

What style robe do you like?

Hi, @ECBG! I have several but a Miss Elaine that I love with short sleeves and hem below the knee. Also have a Miss Elaine Long sleeve, below the knee quilted robe and a Stan Herman long sleeve robe, also below the knee and, finally, a Barefoot Dreams lounger hooded, long sleeve full length, so I’m covered, literally! All are zip fronts, which work for me when getting ready for Church or going out. Love them!

I have a Stan Herman zip front robe. I don't wear a robe often, but prefer the zipper closure.

Long, and with a zipper closure.

That sounds nice not having to mess with a tie that comes undone when you walk.

Tie robes come undone, fall open, and who wants to relax with that lumpy knot at your waist? I HATE tie robes.

I have a Miss Elaine zip front robe. I bought it as well as a button front nylon Miss Elaine from Dillard’s.

I bought the zip front in July at 65% off at Dillard’s.

I have always liked the zip front the best. I like a long zip that you can step into

I totally agree that zip up robes are better than wrap robes. I hate fiddling with clothes and ended up giving every wrap robe I ever had away. Fiddle fiddle fiddle ...

I did have a nice zip robe, liked it, just got tired of the color and finally gave that away too. Never did get another one...

These days I wear these sleep cardigans I get at Eddie Bauer. Relaxed fit and super cozy. I have them in different styles and colors. Sweater girl at heart I guess ... but if I was going to buy another robe, it would be a ZIP front for sure.

I think a lot of women like wrap robes because they are more stylish of the two, but robes should be all about comfort and coziness... (oh, and no fiddling!)

A chenille to the ankle button up. I leave the bottom half buttoned and step in and out of it.

I like the look of a wrap robe much better, but a zip robe is more comfortable. I finally decided l don't need to be a fashionista when lounging around the house. I no longer worry about looking like l'm wearing an old-fashioned "housecoat." Lol. I have a couple of Stan Hermans.

I've had zip-ups and button-ups and everything in between, but really prefer the wrap. I've had the same oversized chenille Stan Herman wrap robe for years. Love it! I wear a size XS, but my robe is a Large and I can wrap it around me twice almost. I don't care what I look like in it. Like @handygal2 said, I'm not interested in being a fashionista in my own house. Hubby gave it to me and I specifically asked for a large one so it doubles as an afghan and a robe. It covers my feet when I'm snuggled in my recliner.

I wear them because it hides the drooping chest area better than a tie one. More discreet if family is staying over. ☺️

Belk dot com. They have coupons often. No need to pay full price for Miss Elaine.

The only type of robe I wear is the zip type. Shorter with short sleeves in the warm months and long with long sleeves in the winter. I often wear nothing underneath (TMI I know) so this avoids any "oops" moments I would otherwise get with a wrap robe.
