robe for Emily

[Jackie]

It has been suggested that Emily could use a new robe for Christmas...but...alas...she has to have a zip front and not a waist tie one. Has to be short too with shorter sleeves...and I am striking out totally. Lighter weight would be good but apparently not the time of year to find those...Every source this year appears to be understocked in them...so if anyone has a bright idea.... ;D

Have you looked at JC Penney?

Oops - that url turned out really long! If it doesn't work, look up Celestial Dreams Zip Duster on the www.jcpenney.com website.

Just an idea . . .

LOL...I forgot to mention that there is also another issue...Emily thinks most robes look..."Elderly" LOL...but as I said tie robes don't leave much to the imagination when she wears them ;D

[Chris too]

The zippered ones do look elderly - lol
You could maybe sew one - or put a zipper in a tie robe...

[Jackie]

well...seeing as how Ed sews on our buttons....LOL....but I do remember the neat robes that were all the rage when I was in college...they used to make them with 3 bathtowels in bright colors. One for the bodice and sleeves and one for the back and one for the front with a zipper. Really cool and just the right weight and no ties to keep coming open. Now if someone made me one they would have to do it with beach towels or bath sheets to fit...LOL

[Chris too]

LOL Jackie I'm betting that you'll find just the thing for Em befor Christmas, great shopper that you are. Zippers are a pita to put in, so just keep shopping

Jackie I was just doing some online shopping and saw this bathrobe. It's zip up but I don't think the plaid it looks "elderly"

I believe tehy also have some at LL bean that are very plain but I'm not sure if they have short ones AND they're more expensive.

I wish I had more time; I'd make her one that was so cool she'd want to wear it constantly There are so many great fleece prints these days.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in the "Casual Moments Women's 52 Inch Breakaway Zipper Robe " I found when googling for zippered robes - LOL

Here's a nice one at Sears (it's all over the web, but the price is horrid): www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM2442184401P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM2442184401

Or maybe this one at QVC: www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.aol_refer.false.tpl.detail.msn_refer.false.item.A202973.ref.GBA?cm_ven=GOOGLEBASE&cm_cat=Fashion&cm_pla=Sleepwear&cm_ite=A202973-011-551

I'd take that hood tie off before I'd wear that last one, though - makes me choke looking at the picture :/

[Jackie]

LOL...I would take it off too...that one DOES have potential...I really appreciate you looking for me...thinking that this is something I need to let her be in on rather than trying to surprise her...

True dat
