I actually like this one ... you should get it !!!
I live with small messy people, and do food prep while wearing Shabbos robe/clothes... Dunno if this is a good idea. It says new so hopefully I have time to shop around and if I don't find anything I like better it would still be there.

I get 2 nice maxi skirts, choose the colors you like, and match with some cheap pretty tops from old navy, NY and company, etc.


I do the opposite. I buy a couple of cheap black cotton skirts. I get them on sale around $15 and I match them with pretty tops I find in the evening wear department. I then can use a black chiffon skirt if company is coming or I am going someplace a robe is not appropriate for. I also have several maxi dresses which I wear in the summer. I pair them with a cropped shell.

In my community no one wears long skirts outside the house during the week. I am one of the very few who even wear them inside.

I started wearing a maxi skirt with a top because it was the easiest to nurse in. I find the robes with front zippers expose too much. If you want to use your credit in the robe store just get a 2 piece robe.

I wear a sleeveless shell underneath.

No 2 piece robes there; they have jumpers which don't help me at all! I've contemplated getting maternity robes when I've been in that parsha but they also were impractical....or ugly! I might just spend it on other stuff but I really would love a replacement for the robe I've been wearing for at least 5 years now, especially in a non-velour material for the summer. The problem is the summer robes I have found are way too clingy. Blah, I should just give up.

Wow, almost 5 feet from shoulder to hem. That's not including the neck and head! And I'm under 5 feet from head to toe. There is no hope for me Sad

You can just cut off most of the bottom green part and hem the rest. So the white part is the bottom.

Zulily has LOADS of nice maxi dresses now, including some with long sleeves. A few are clearly meant to be a little above the ankles, which is perfect for shorties who want full length Smile

That takes away half the dress design though (it's a colorblock)!

not 1/2 but I see what you mean ... I guess you could always do an overlay hem in the center & top stitch it down - making another design ... in the blue part or is it black ... then you still have the green bottom

What do those of you in hot climates wear? I'm in Florida and I'm pregnant. The poly/rayon and layers is killing me. It's too hot.

if you live in the UK, then Tesco have great maxi dresses, also called sun dresses, for about £20-£30.. Great for summer Shabbos robes... I have about 3.. New look have a couple nice ones too. And please don't pay $150 for one of these - they sell all over for about £30 in UK, can;t believe you couldn't find same priced in USA... Good luck.
