I'm still wearing an old chenille house coat that my mother had for many years..and I'm 77 now. No telling how old it is, but it is one warm garment!! It has wide sleeves, waistline with a built in belt, long to the floor and flowing. No skimping on fabric with that one. Sure wish I had another couple of them in other colors, this one is a faded pink. Might dye it soon because I'm not getting rid of it soon, also one daughter has her eye on it!!.

Can't have them on the beds - they are dust catchers, but I love the look. I have a white one from a sale of some sort that I want to repurpose - a robe, maybe. I have too many jackets.

I really like them, but I don't own one. I have a baby picture of me on one with a huge peacock design.

I have many...including the ones that were for cribs...I repurpose them into quilts that I sell at the craft shows.
Just love them
I don't cut the perfect ones, I just can't do it...I only use the ones that need some love..

I have one on my guest bed now. It's the double peacock, great shape. I have a blue and white one made into a jacket. Now that's neat. When grandson goes home, and I put the spread back on the bed, I will take a pic and post it. I love them...Didn't know they were dust catchers....Huuummmm.
