Both housecoats look great and you’re both winners since you’ll be cozy and warm this winter!
We like your thinking…
Superb the two dressing gowns. Like Peter and Michael, I prefer the woolen dressing gown with pretty warm colors. Although Eva’s is pretty too.
Thank you very much for the tutorial.
Kind regards.

You are welcome. The wool robe definitely is the winner, I agree, too.
