Next shoppers swap 'bulky dressing gown' for Laura Ashley robe that 'looks expensive'

Shoppers are treating themselves and their loved ones to a 'beautiful' robe from Next, part of the Laura Ashley collection. The Josette Dressing Gown is the perfect addition to winding down in style, designed with a soft draping material, floral pattern and lace trims.

The dressing gown also boasts a tie waist detail, allowing users to cinch the middle in and handy pockets to store any essentials. Shoppers can easily freshen up the robe by popping it in the washing machine and create a coordinated look with the matching pyjamas and slippers.

There are seven different colours to choose from - mauve, blue, green, grey, mauve pink and navy/pink, each retailing for £59. The Laura Ashley robe would make a thougtful gift as well as a great way to pamper an individual.

This was the case for several shoppers, with one person saying: "The dressing gown was a present for my mother in law and she absolutely loved it!"

Another consumer shared a similar story, writing: "I purchased the dressing gown for my mother in law. As an ex art teacher she has always loved Morris prints and this reminded her of those. Looks so lovely on, fits beautifully and the fabric hangs effortlessly. She absolutely loves it. Thank you."

For a more affordable alternative, the Chelsea Peers Organic Cotton Lightweight Stripe Dressing Gown is on sale for £30 down from £50. Shoppers say it is 'soft and luxurious' and 'washes great'.

Those looking for a hotel-style dressing gown might be interested in Dunelm's Velour Dressing Gown for £35. It has a waffle texture with black pipe detailing.

Many shoppers have given praise for the Next dressing gown, with someone sharing: "Wonderful quality and so pretty and feminine. A change from big hooded and bulky dressing gowns."

However, the fit might not be for everyone and a dissapointed shopper explained: "The item was of lovely quality and felt gorgeous, but I'm a little person and it was to big for me."

But, highlighting the dressing gown could make a good investment, another customer wrote:"The product is such good quality and fits lovely, it looks expensive and looks as though it's going to last a long time."
