Who doesn’t love a good dressing gown? The feeling of a fresh, new, and inviting dressing gown just can't be beaten. Robes, housecoats or gowns - whatever you wish to call them, are perfect for lounging, and working around the house, or even creating your own spa days!
The right dressing gown can see you through it all, and there's something for everyone, from fun printed satins to cosy and fluffy fabrics perfect for staying warm - whatever the weather or occasion, there’s a dressing gown to fit.
Don't forget - just because you're pregnant it doesn't mean you have to go for maternity dressing gowns. Dressing gowns usually have plenty of space in them to wrap around your body, so when shopping, think long-term as you'll probably want to continue using your purchase for much longer.
If you’re looking for a winter warmer, something perfect for cosying up by the fire, look out for fluffy and super-soft materials, or even a hood for that extra bit of snuggly comfort. Don’t let the warm weather or your bump stop you from enjoying a dressing gown - there are plenty of lightweight and breathable ones to choose from, perfect for the slightly chillier mornings and evenings, not to mention those days where you simply just don’t feel like getting dressed!
