All the way back at the end of November Idiosyncratic Style wrote a post called Fashion Dare: Pajama Possibilities. I included it in my Links à la Mode round up that week and I also though “hmmm”
Hanging on the back of my bedroom door for about 3 years has been a beautiful printed satin kimono wrap. I rarely wear it, because it’s all slinky and pretty and most times when I want a robe I want fluffy and cosy.
But what if I belted it in?
Could my dressing gown pass for a dress?
I’m still not sure. Maybe it’s because I KNOW it’s actually a robe? I love the length and the dramatic sleeves but I still might just feel like I’m going out in my dressing gown.

you completely pull it off… maybe because you know it’s a robe it feels silly, but i think it can definitly work outside the house. It is always awesome to see people being brave with fashion, has great results!
It SO can pass for a dress. I would use a flashy gold belt, though.

Looks fab my dear, you can certainly carry it off! Mx
yeah why not? though i think it is more suited for summer and pretty sandlas….

General consensus is yes then?!
Laura – I tried a few different belts, but because the robe is so printed anything too flashy competed with it too much and a wider belt made it look more structured
Eyeliah – Yes, I think it would work with barelegs and pretty sandals in the summer, but I thought because there was black in the print I quite liked it with opaques as well.

Wear it out – it’s fantastic. I was wondering if I was the only one who thought it was acceptable to wear pretty robes like this outside the house!
Um I’d totally comment on how cool your dress was if I saw you at a party. It’s also all about the accessories and you used some pretty darn cute ones!

um…YES! that is beautiful!!!
That is such a gorgeous robe! I would layer it with other pieces like a skirt and maybe a cami. For the office a blouse perhaps and a vest over it THEN belt it?
