Dressing gowns, also known as ROBES or KIMONOS, are a type of clothing typically worn over nightwear or loungewear. They are usually made of lightweight materials such as cotton, silk, or satin and come in a variety of styles and lengths. ROBES are usually ankle-length and have long sleeves, while KIMONOS are shorter and have shorter sleeves. Dressing gowns are often used to keep warm during colder months, but can also be used as a fashion statement.
