Bring Back the Housecoat!


Comments (14) Share

Sure health care reform, our status in Afghanistan, and whether Jennifer Anniston will ever get remarried are important issues. But I want to turn you to my favorite cause du jour: bringing back the housecoat.

    i totally agree! right now, i'm just waiting for the nursing nightgown i ordered to get here, as my totally awesome nightgown (essentially a giant tshirt, long sleeve and to the floor, but with only a small vneck) doesn't work for nursing and i'm oh so tired of getting dressed as soon as i get up in the morning. And, what's the deal with long sleeve night gowns usually only being knee length, while the long ones all are short sleeve or sleeveless… gah! it makes no sense to me. the closest i could find for a nursing gown is 3/4 length sleeves and shin length.

    Amen, Sister. Here in the midwest, the "housecoat" seems to be terry sweatpants and a hoodie or t-shirt…. which my hubby refers to as "pimp suits." I used to feel guilty about schlubbing around in one of my many pimp suits, but no more. What if we could create a hybrid of a pimp suit and a housecoat? I may never wear real clothes again.

    gosh, I'm thinking I should create the Cool Mom housecoats! China here I come?

    I'm all for calling the simple t-shirt dress a housecoat. Anything comfy will do, really. let's be realistic- I'm for anything under which I don't necessarily have to wear underwear.

    I am in full agreement! Something cute and easy that looks like you're wering clothes, but feel like a bathrobe!!!

    Guuuurl, I have THREE, count em, THREE muumuus. They are long and flowy and so Mrs. Roper from Three's Company it's not funny. Actually it IS funny because they are so old lady looking but feel soooooo comfy. I do have a gorgeous silk robe I got in China but why wear it when it's just going to get covered in whatever is on my children's hands at any given moment? If it's not muumuu time then it's cotton sports bra, cotton granny panties, sweats and a tshirt time. It's not really as fun as the muumuu but it won't completely turn off my husband, either.

    I'm just wondering where you come up with this stuff? At what point in your day do you go… "HOUSECOATS!! I'll do a video of that today!"

    Daphne Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 4:42 pm

    Renee, I don't know. I realized I need one the next morning and did think for about 3 seconds and then shot it. Been wanting nicer housecoats since Vivien was born.

    Mutha Mae, there is a clothing line now called Mrs Roper. cute dresses, but they want $300 for them. hmm not that cute. yes, pro mu-mu.
    Kate, love that pattern. better than anything i wear out of the house let alone inside.

    Missey, t shirts are comfy but make me feel like a bum.

    Hell Yes! Bring back the housecoat. Yesterday I made the UPS man wait 5 minutes, while I put on something decent, before I opened the door.
