Oodie's Sherpa Dressing Gown has been reduced from £75 to £52.50 as part of a limited-time sale offering up to 30% off selected styles. The Australian brand, known for its hooded blankets, is promoting the dressing gown as ideal for working from home and festive gifting.
First Impressions and Design Details
The reviewer, a self-described prolific dressing gown-wearer, noted the gown's plush feel and premium quality. The outside is made from the brand's ToastyTek Fleece, while the inside is lined with ultra-warm Sherpa Fleece to trap heat. The oversized fit comes in three sizes: S/M, L/XL, and 2XL/3XL.
Standing at 5'5" and wearing a size 10, the reviewer found the S/M size plenty big without being overwhelming. They tried the Rose Stripe design, though other colourways include solid colours, swirls, bows, and a leopard-print option.
Thoughtful Features and Minor Criticism
The gown includes an oversized hood, deep patch pockets, and a tie waist that fastens to a button at the back, preventing the belt from slipping or getting lost in laundry. Cuffed sleeves help trap heat and keep sleeves dry during skincare routines.
The reviewer's only criticism was the length, which falls just below the knee. They prefer mid-calf or ankle-length gowns, noting the shorter cut may suit younger or more petite shoppers.
Alternatives and Shopper Feedback
For those seeking more affordable options, the reviewer recommends Marks and Spencer's Premium Short Pile Dressing Gown at £45, which has a shawl collar and longer length but no hood. They also mention Next's Pink Stripe Cosy Dressing Gown at £35, which is less thick but wearable year-round.
Shoppers have praised the gown as 'fluffy, warm and amazing quality'. One customer said: "I absolutely love it. It feels like the most luxurious thing I've ever worn. It is so warm that I've joked that if I bought my husband one we wouldn't need the heating on." Another described it as the "cosiest dressing gown", adding: "Loved it so much I've bought all my family members one each for xmas and they're all just as happy as I am."
Some reviewers noted the length issue, with one saying: "This product is a little too short for me, but it does provide a lot of warmth under the circumstances." Another bought it for their 17-year-old daughter, who was 'obsessed', praising the cuffed wrists, belt button, deep pockets, and soft lining.
Value and Deal Deadline
The reviewer considers the gown a worthwhile investment, noting most dressing gowns they've owned lasted 12-18 months, while the Oodie feels more substantial. The sale is expected to end on October 19, positioning the gown as a giftable option for the festive season.
