Hard-To-Find Winter Robe Found

PickyPicky3 — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 14:03:39 GMT

What I wanted:

-Ankle length

-Full zipper (not step-in)

-Warm but not heavy

-Soft fabric

-Pockets

-No hood

What I got:

LOFIR long zipper robe. Walmart $29.

I am 5'6". You'll be OK with length if you are over 5'4".

Only comes in 3 sizes (M/L/XL) which fit bust 46"-52". BUT runs narrow through the hip so size up.

Beautiful looking robe! Looks much more expensive. Too bad it doesn't come in petites.

Great purchase!

And you got all the features you wanted!

I too purchased a "robe" from the Q here last summer.

This one has a hood, which was one of my requirements. It is also lightweight, but soft and warm.

I am surprised at how much I like this, and I use it each time I shower/bathe!

Isn't it so difficult to find a robe with the features we want?

@LTT1 @PickyPicky3 I already have three robes that I rarely wear. I will use them maybe if I'm not feeling well but I actually got a beautiful white robe as a gift from a friend last year since we renovated the primary bath and she gave me spa like gifts....one of them was the plush white robe. I should make an effort to wear it.

I mostly tend to wear sweats or PJ pants when lounging around the house. If it's chilly I will wear on of my many fleece like Cuddle Duds or Anybody cardigans. To me they are for around the house and keep me warm. I don't wear them out.

@LTT1 I like that short robe! Looks very cute & comfortable!

I bought this on ebay (it's a Coldwater Creek robe), ankle length, cotton blend, brand new with tags:

It's soft and warm, but I don't purchase from CC, the company was sold and it's not the same.

However, some of their line is available on ebay and such outlets, at a really great discount.

@Ronettes I love Ebay! I have gotten some really good deals from there this year. I don't know why I didn't bother much in the past but I have found a lot of nice things there brand new that is sold here for a fraction of the price.

The nice thing is, most vendors will accept returns and I have done so a few times and have gotten a refund.

@LTT1 is that a full, separating zipper? I would like that except they're sold out of Smalls in the colors I would like. I don't care for that dark blue one or the teal.

Same here - If I really want something that is expensive, I watch for it on ebay, quite often it will show up in my size, and you're right - at a fraction of the price!

Yes, I have also returned items and gotten a refund. I always ask for precise measurements so I will know if the item will fit correctly to try and avoid returns.

I love ebay for the vintage items as well. Surprisingly I have picked up vintage bedspreads brand new still in the package, for a song!

I like it! Especially the full length zipper and light weight. I so miss Stan Herman chenille robes he had for years. I lived the winter in them.

@bells4me I still have a summer chenille robe from Stan Herman purchased several years ago. I agree with you, the best robes ever! I purchased a Stan Herman winter robe about 5 years ago from an eBay seller. It had tags on it, though it was not chenille but a very soft fabric with a full length zipper, which I like. Don't like the step in zipper type.

@PickyPicky3 ... very nice robe! I need a robe with either snap or button closures. They seem to be really difficult to find.

Re: Hard-To-Find Winter Robe Found

Boehm Collector — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 17:01:45 GMT

@PickyPicky3 ...I also want one that is ankle length or shorter, with pockets, petite size, and no hood.

Maybe we could create a card game where the first person to collect their desired robe features wins.

I wonder why Stan stopped selling robes.

Very nice! I really really do not like hoods on ANYTHING except my winter coat!!! Why one would ever want one on a robe is beyond me.

@bargainsgirl .. I agree with you 💯 percent!
