hi, i suggest look for catalogs like Lillian Vernon or Potpourri Group, they usually offer free embroidery of bathrobes to customize. If not, you can visit www.gapsretail.com, they have really unique robes... i have a bathrobe kinda look like what you have on the picture and i bought it from that website.

For More Info or to Buy Now: www.hsn.com Terry Cloth Robe with Charmeuse Ruffle Trim by Willow Black - stripe trim. Cream - paisley trim. Soft ...

I've tried a sarong at the beach, but the thin cotton or polyester does not absorb anything, so I need a separate towel. Is there such thing as a beach robe or beach towel dress?

Well I have a Towelini... that's pretty much exactly what you are describing. It's basically a towel which can be wrapped and tied into a dress.

I used to have a sarong, but I found the polyester would get stinky and it didn't absorb anything.

The Towelini is made of organic cotton... so it's absorbent and it dries fast.

I don't know if you can get it at regular retail locations, but you can get one online at http://towelini.com/

I am thinking of buying my boyfriend a plush bath robe for Christmas. I want to buy it online but cant feel them! Cotton? Terry?
THANKS MBS!

I would say fleece, or Terry Cloth is always really nice! Because if he puts it on after a shower Terry cloth absorbs water nicely.

I bought organic cotton sheets and ugh! They are rough and scratchy, not soft at all. Same thing for organic cotton napkings, like sandpaper against my lips! :( I am very disappointed. I bought knits and a terry robe in organic cotton and they are the softest. But woven cotton is soooo unbearably rough and itchy against the skin. Does anyone know why that is?

Also can you please tell me how to get it to soften up? I have heard about enzyme wash but I don't know what that is or how to do it at home. Google was no help! :-/

Do you think if I buy digestive enzyme cellulase and put a few caps (how many??) in the wash it will 'eat up' the roughness, since cellulase digests fiber? Should I put any of my natural soap or just the cellulase?

PLEASE: Don't tell me fabric softener or dryer sheets, I have chemical allergies and can't use any of that commercial stuff and why I bought the organic cotton sheets in the 1st place, they were supposed to help me out. Thanks.

You've actually answered your own question. Woven cloth is not meant to provide "softness" compared to knits and terry "weaves". Linen weaves are meant to use minimal material, have less give and minimal stretch.

In terms of solving your dilemmna, the easiest thing to do is to use the sheets and napkins more often (i.e. break them in). Through use, the threads will get "ratty" and provide a softer feel. Between washes, regular use will "wear" the rough surfaces to smooth them out. Will never get to knit and terry softness, but it helps greatly. look at what stone-washing did for jeans - which focuses more on wearing than unraveling, but has components of both.

Good luck!

My wife likes either Turkish cotton or terry preferably violet or pink in color. Where can I order it?

I bought mine from a department store like Macy's or Lord & Taylor. It is made by Nautica. It looks great even after a few years (more than 5 now). I bought one for my husband too. It runs about $100 I think. It's well-worth it. I bought a cheaper one from Victoria's Secret and it only lasted 1-2 years. Terrible.
