So many robes, so little time...

Poll Shabbos Robes

I love the first choice, but I'm not sure if I can carry it off. I'm partial to the middle and last picture.

#2 seems more "you" to me. #3 is the same cut as mine. Who makes them?

[hipstamom]

#1 and #2 are made by Raza. I have no clue about #3.

Thanks! :)

Oh on second thought, I think #3 is also made by Raza. It looks like The Car Wash one.

I voted for #1, b/c it's what *I* would like best, but #3 is gorgeous too. I'm obsessed with the Raza website, I have 2 of their velour robes and I can't wait for winter again so I can wear them :)

Thanks for the link to Raza -- it's so nice to see that they have some robes that are 100% cotton! One reason I don't have a Shabbos robe is that I usually can't take wearing polyester or artificial fabrics from neck to ankles -- no matter how nice it looks, it makes my skin itchy and twitchy. But a cotton robe is worth considering.

You're welcome! I tend to go for 100% cotton myself. (Or cotton blends with a high cotton ratio; i.e. 60% cotton and up.)

I know what you mean! I'm the same way...what I do is wash the offending poly in Tide w/Febreeze to get rid of the stuff on it from manufacturing. Then I use Downy w/ Febreeze and it comes out silky smooth and soft. But I still avoid poly fabrics like the plague. Perhaps, I'm that scarred from being a small child in the 70s and forced to wear poly dresses with itchy lace ;)

I was stuck choosing between #1 and #3, but went with #3. Not really a fan of #2 personally.

I liked #2 because it reminds me of a vintage green velvet empire waist dress w/ lace bell sleeves that I wore in high school.

DH likes #3 the best.

He hated #1.

Thank you for the feedback!
