Retailers wonder why consumers go online and buy?
So I am going to buy one online, perhaps even from Harvey James in London.
I haven't decided which one yet. I was looking at this one and asked R's opinion.
"Do you think I will look like this if I buy this dressing gown?"
"I hope so", he answered but with a rueful half smile on his face.
I don't know whether I feel more sorry for R or for you.
ReplyDeleteIt really is unkind of manufacturers to show us their garment worn by the sort of body most of us can only dream of...
EC, just feel sorry for both of us. How and why did we get old? That was never in the planning. While I posted that with humour in mind, people, and yes me when I was younger, did think we would look better in some advertised clothing worn by a nice looking person.
DeleteOoh that's nice!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the show and tell complete with runway strut when it arrives :)
Cathy, ain't gonna happen. I've ordered a cotton one from New York. So so cheap.
DeleteYes we want a photo of you modelling the gown.
ReplyDeleteDiane, see my reply to Cathy above.
DeleteI look forward to seeing a photo you wearing your new dressing gown, even a rear view would be very nice.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, ok, maybe.
DeleteYou were not looking at the dressing gown Andrew.. I don't believe you 😁😁😁
ReplyDeleteWell Grace, it took R to point out to me that it didn't have sleeves.
DeleteYou and R have the best sense of humor ever!(lol) Of course, I sure wish I could find an outfit less than $75 that would change my body too!(lol) Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteRO, we live in futile hope.
DeleteDo they have anything a little longer?
ReplyDeleteTravel, why? Shorter would be better.
DeleteWell it depends, am I going to wear it, it should be longer, if your houseboy is going to wear it, shorter.
DeleteCorrect thinking, Travel.
DeleteI hope so too!!! I'll get John one in that case.
ReplyDeleteYes, you need several dressing gowns, ask John.
Some on sale here at The Bay

Great range Jackie but already ordered one. I've always managed with one but now I am not working, I need more.
DeleteOh my I wish if we bought clothes on line the models body came with it, transformed us magically. Oh boy.....Did you get it?
ReplyDeleteNot that one Strayer but I've bought a sensible one.
DeleteArmless? Seriously? And the hood makes me laugh out loud. What a stupid effin design. Unless you are performing in a strip club.

WWW, not quite sure why a dressing gown needs a hood. You are right. Not sure who would ever buy one like that.
DeleteBeing that short and without arms, it's bound to be a bit cooler but there again you could take the arms out of one of your shirts and achieve the same result - R laughing his head off!!
ReplyDeleteMarie, perhaps I should have just bought an oversized shirt and made do with that.
DeleteAndrew for me it looks great
ReplyDeleteGosia, looks good on him but anything would look good on him.
DeleteToo bad you can't buy the model.
ReplyDeleteKirk, you probably could at a decent price.
DeleteOther than my grocery/supermarket/newsagency shopping, everything else...what I can't get here on the hill...I buy online. Shoes and all clothes...and have done for ages now. I have no problems or guilt buying online. It sure beats going down to the Gold Coast...and is cheaper. Delivered to my door! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLee, that is pretty cool. I do normally like to feel the quality of the width, but this time, no.
DeleteNo. Keep looking Andrew; even the colour is ghastly. I should add that my very chic paisley dressing gown was purchased in about 1970, and is still going strong.
ReplyDeleteCro, I bet your dressing gown cost a bomb at the time, but money well spent if you are wearing it 50 years later.
DeleteI've given up on my dressing gown altogether. It's fleecy and super warm, but it takes me three hours to get the cat hair off every time I want to wash it, so I packed it away after the last washing and there it will stay until I no longer have a cat. In the summer I don't bother at all with dressing gowns, my nighties look like long t shirts so there's no need.
ReplyDeleteRiver, I don't have a nightie, so I must cover up. especially when I am out on the balcony. You can't put your warm dressing gown into a clothes dryer and get rid of the cat fur?
DeleteMy husband no longer even asks. I suppose no one wants to see a dumpy old woman in her dressing gown! LOL
ReplyDeleteMaribeth, I am sure no one thinks of you like that.
