Robes & Peignoirs | Elegant Lace & Sheer Lingerie Robes

A bata de encaje or a kimono is the piece that decides how everything begins. A set of lingerie is flashed; a robe allows it to appear in parts, and that difference is exactly what you buy here.

How each fabric falls

The drape is the characteristic that defines this garment, and depends on the fabric more than the cut.

Chiffon and chiffon are light and move with the air, so they float when you walk. It is the most vaporous effect and the least structured.

The satin weighs a little more and falls vertically, hugging the body in curves. It is the one that best reflects light and the one that gives a more polished finish.

Silk combines the weight of satin with greater fluidity and a comfortable contact temperature, and is the most expensive fabric in the section for good reason.

The lace and net do not fall, they hold up, and that is why they work in short pieces more than in long ones.

And velvet or plush provide weight and warmth, which is another different proposal.

Length changes registration

Corto, hasta el muslo. The most practical and the easiest to carry. It works in a group and also alone.
A la rodilla. The middle point, the one that best wears at home while still being an occasion garment.
Largo hasta el suelo. The most theatrical. It needs some height or a heel to not drag, and this is where the fluid fabric looks the most.

The details that separate a good robe from a disappointing one

This is the point that no photo shows and where the manufacturing difference is noticeable.

Las trabillas del cinturón. A robe without belt loops constantly loses its belt and cannot be adjusted properly. Check that they exist and that they are sewn to the side seam, not applied on top.

El ancho del cinturón. A thin cord marks the waist but digs in; a broadband distributes and defines better. Broadband is almost always the best option.

El acabado de los bordes. A machine-rolled hem on flowy fabric is a sign of good tailoring. A cut and heat-sealed edge curls upon second wash.

La manga. A wide kimono sleeve is comfortable and visual but it gets wet in the sink and snags. A tighter sleeve is less dramatic and much more practical.

The one size fits all warning

Much of this category is sold as one size fits all, and this should be interpreted carefully.

Being an open and tight garment with a belt, the contour is quite forgiving. What is not forgiving is the sleeve length or the total length, which are set by the pattern. If you have long arms or tall stature, look at the sleeve length and back length in centimeters before trusting the label.

How to wear

The combination that works best is simple: the robe in a fluid and neutral fabric over a detailed outfit, or the other way around. The two pieces with worked lace compete with each other.

The outfits are in Complete Lingerie Sets, the nightgowns in Nighties, the babydolls in Babydolls, the stockings in Stockings and the accessories in Lingerie Accessories.

Be careful

Hand wash in cold water for satin, silk and lace, with neutral soap and without wringing. Silk does not accept bleach or fabric softener and appreciates a few drops of white vinegar in the last rinse to maintain its shine.

Dry horizontally in the shade. Direct sun fades the color of satin in just a few sessions.

If you iron, always at the lowest temperature and on the inside out, with a cloth in between. And keep the long pieces hanging on a padded hanger, because the fold of a thin hanger is marked in satin and does not come out.

Frequently asked questions

What fabric should you choose?

Satin if you are looking for weight and fluid drape, chiffon or tulle if you are looking for movement, lace if you are looking for structure and transparency. The fabric decides more than the pattern.

Which length is best?

The short one is more practical and direct; The length to the floor has more presence and needs some heel so as not to drag. It is a matter of record, not quality.

Does one size fit all?

No. It usually covers a medium range and falls short in sleeves and back outside of it. The measurement table on the card is more reliable than the label.

What details make the difference?

That the belt is sewn with loops, that the seams are finished and that the lace is sewn and not glued. These are the three points where the quality is noticeable.
