What is a "dressing gown"?

A dressing gown, also known as a robe, is a loose-fitting garment that is worn over clothing or lingerie. It is typically made from soft and comfortable materials such as cotton, silk, or polyester, and may feature additional elements such as pockets, buttons, or a belt to fasten it around the waist. Dressing gowns come in many different styles, including full-length, knee-length, or short, and are available in various colors and patterns. They are commonly worn as a form of loungewear or for comfort around the home and can be used as a cover-up after a shower or bath. Dressing gowns are also popular as a gift item, particularly for special occasions such as weddings or birthdays.
