Oh Angie, I will keep my fingers crossed for you!! If you get the kimono and find it drives you crazy on your "test drive" I really like cherylm's idea of a sundress. I once bought a simple little dress at Nordstrom Rack on sale for $9.99. Our purpose was for my husband to get some clothes, so I didn't even try it on. Once I got home, I decided it looked much more like a nightgown than a dress.
This subject fascinates me. Robes are such a personal thing. I know I am super picky about them. I like extremely lightweight stretch terry cloth. The perfect one has been evading me for some time now. DH bought me a big fleecy one for Christmas. Bless his heart-I had to keep it, as I know he searched high and low, but it's so HOT, LOL!
