LOL, I have mine on now over my sweats (it's chilly in my house). Last year DH bought me one from Vicky's Secret. It's like a fluffy, chenille fabric and it's soooooo warm! I've gone out in winter with my robe to start the car before I get dressed and it's like a coat! I love this thing. One of the best gifts DH ever got me.
I also have a thick, towel-like robe that I was often b/c I use it when I finish showering. It dries my arms, back and belly, but I have to use a separate towel for everything else. It's good to run out of the bathroom in. I can't get dressed in there. I always feel like I'm dragging my clothes onto wet skin.
