[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them

Calli - You might check at a department store to see compare how men's and women's robes are cut.

Thanks, askye and ita. If I can't find anything online I'll try comparing the men's and women's robe setups. I'm kind of hoping to get all my shopping done via computer this year, since I'm not fond of holiday shopping crowds.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I always thought mens' robes were shorter and womens' longer.

Calli - try junonia.com.

They'll have the sizes, although I don't know if they'll have the colours you want.

Thanks, Sophie. Some of the colors look right, but I didn't see any terry cloth, alas.

Usually my sister being specific is a good thing. Oh well. Hmmmm. Maybe Hanes has a site . . . [off to google]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The men's robe I'm wearing now goes to mid calf. The women's robe it replaced was mid thigh. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule.

And it seems that Hanes doesn't make robes.

I'm going to have to go to the stores, where the other humans are, aren't I.

Did you try froogling, Calli? At the very least, it might give you ideas.

Mostly lurking...

Calli, what about this? Colors might not work, but it's getting there: [link]

Edit: It's even on sale, which makes it in your price range! And actually, there is a red, so...

Oooh, froogle. Thanks, ita, I rarely think to go beyond basic google.

And thanks, vw. That is a lovely robe. I wonder why I didn't find it when I hit Lane Bryant's site the first time? I probably saw the word "velour" and skipped on.
