Terry cloth robes are made from plush, absorbent material and are ideal for drying off after a bath or shower. They are often provided by hotels and spas and come in various styles and colors, with quality and absorbency being important factors to consider when purchasing.
The terry, absorbent material known as plush has an absorbent property that makes it ideal for bath towels. Individual strands of cotton yarn quickly draw excess water from the body after a shower or bath, then the towel can be hung to air dry. The next logical progression would be to create an entire bathrobe from such an absorbent and soft material. The result is a type of wraparound bathrobe known as a terrycloth robe.
A terry cloth robe works as a transition piece between drying off after a bath and putting on fresh clothes. The wearer wraps the robe around his body and then wears a sash or belt to secure it around his waist. Some gowns are designed to be floor length, but most are no longer than the knee. There are also shorter tunics that are more suited to a casual jacket than a full tunic. The idea is to wear the bathrobe for modesty, warmth, and extra drying.
Several health centers and hotels offer their guests a plush robe as a courtesy. These gowns are often hung in a conspicuous area near the shower or bath so users can quickly access them. It wouldn’t be unusual for a spa guest to change into a terrycloth robe early in the day and stay in it while undergoing the rest of their treatments. The luxurious quality of the robe makes it a very attractive alternative to formal wear in a casual or private setting.
There are many different colors and styles available when shopping for a terry dressing gown. Some people may consider length and coverage when shopping for a new bathrobe. A gown should fit securely if a person has to make a brief public appearance while wearing it. The overall quality of the terry material should also be considered, as less expensive material may lose its absorbency over time or wear out or fray too quickly. Terry robes like those found in spas and hotels can be very expensive on the general market, but are generally preferable to less expensive robes made from less absorbent synthetic materials or polyester/cotton blends.
