Let's talk about your house dresses

That is my reason for purchasing all leggings! I can be loafing like a slob one minute, then throw on a dress that is too short anyway over my slobwear and be "dressed".

Laurel, just search Vermont Country Store for "house coat."

FYI If we ever have a thread where we talk about all the old lady nightgowns we have from Vt.CS I'll be posting in it a lot.

Most of my house clothes are demoted regular clothes, eg jeans worn through with thigh biscuit holes, oil-stained t-shirts.

Most of my shirts are this too but I can't wear jeans around the house so it's either a dress or leggins/yoga pants which I don't really ever wear outside so will have purchased specifically for house clothes status. It's a complicated business.

My favorite item of house clothing is my official sweater for the 2001 Sydney Paralympics Judo team, given to me by my husband's uncle who was the coach of the paralympic judo team. It's HUGE - reaches my knees and it's practically a dress so let's pretend that that's my housedress :D

omg those nightgowns are something else

I have two in this exact construction:

That's too cute to be a house dress.

Well, not for you. But for me. Also I like to be able to splay across the couch like a filthy slattern and that's too trim for proper splaying.

would wear - though ideally with a fuller skirt for more efficient splaying, as carl says

We are Team USA gold medal splaying champs.

I want that dress Laurel posted!

bought some great long islamic shirts from an islamic charity shop in London some years ago. tend to wear one of those with tracksuit bottoms around the house.

Carl OTM re splaying. I need to be able to move around in watever I'm wearing. While adorable, that looks like it would be confining. I am currently wearing my strapless smocked maxi dress house dress. It is so comfortable.

That's why I stopped wearing my gingham ones, tbh. More splaying required.

Notice the girl wearing it is about 23 and has no discernible hips, so

I'm splaying like a champ in my gray house dress right now.

House skirts! I have those. Sometimes I change into them at work when I am leaving and get asked "do you have plans? are you that hot?" I just hate wearing pants.
