Am I looking for something impossible? re: shabbos robes

I also like the Raza robes, but I feel saddened that there's really like no other online options out there (now there's thelingerieshopny.com, but AFAIK that's it). I actually really like this one from thelingerieshopny but it's more sleepwear (oh, and no zipper...) than Shabbos robe. But it's oh-so-pretty!

If anyone knows of any other websites that sell Shabbos robes please please post!

Oh, and I wanted to add another option -- we have a clothing gemach where I live that often has robes. I've picked up a few there that I sleep in or cook in, and even found one for my best friend (pretty much the exact kind she was looking for - for free Laughing

) who was searching for a simple black cotton robe w/zipper to wear to sleep since now her oldest is getting to the age where she can't just jump out of bed to the bathroom in a nightie...
So - if you have a local clothing gemach, give it a shot (and don't knock it till you try it!). 8)

I understand if you object to this suggestion...but I find that Muslim clothing websites often sell items that are perfect for Shabbos robes (and other modest stuff) for good prices. If you're open to the options, look for what they call dresses or jilbabs. This is the kind of thing I mean, which might fit your requirements:

http://shukronline.com/wd0792.html (this is a jersey knit dress with a button placket, and the item description suggests that it's good for breastfeeding mothers)

Honestly I'm not sure I'd support the Muslim site. Better to put the money to support a Jewish business.
Also, you never know where your money might end up if you put it in these hands... sorry. :-/

These tops are from the H&M website, something like this, coupled with a long skirt, is a cheap version of the two piece robe.

Ive been scouring the internet looking for a PLUS size robe that is NOT pink, red or purple <sigh>
What a pain to have such a love affair with food. <sigh>

does anyone have suggestions for a good robe pattern? I've made a few, but had to adapt a dress or tunic pattern to make it into a robe. I'd love a pattern that's ready to go!(not Burda, please)

I'm trying to avoid going to a store (I would need to travel which just makes it all that much more complicated).

I have no idea what size I am now but I can measure myself. Are the measurements provided by the website accurate or is it allowing for tznius room or for a very fitted look?

Any opinions on these? I am short and the skirts see a bit full- would that be unflattering? (I'm overweight from having a baby)

http://www.razadesigns.com/gallery/details.asp?CA=29&id=1205 its more expensive than the next one, don't know if it's worth it.

http://www.razadesigns.com/gallery/details.asp?CA=29&id=1404 $50 less and not as nice but simpler might be better. nervous about the absolute return policy.
