I never liked the tie-in-the-middle kind as it always split open below my waist. A million years ago, my mom made me a bathrobe with a zipper up the front running down to the hip area and a closed seam to the floor. I got her pattern after she died and I'm still wearing that bathrobe.

My sister advised me to get one with a zipper when I went off to college. Never had a tie one since. I'm right there with you Swannie, when my old chenille one wears out, I'm making another. If I find some chenille I like.

MJ I remember making one of those towel robes. I used it as a
swim suit cover walking home from the pool. They must have been popular way back then. It was easy to make and so comfortable. The new fleece ones are too hot for me

I'd love to see pictures, too!
I've been making my own caftans for years and wear them all morning long. I use flannel, and they slip over my head. The sleeves are about down to my elbows so I can work in the kitchen and not worry about them getting wet or soiled.
