Women's Plus Size Satin Robes

The perfect accompaniment to satin pajamas, women's plus size satin robes offer beauty, luxury and comfort. The delicate weave of satin from fibers of silk, nylon or polyester create a rich, glossy texture that provides a smooth sheen and wonderful feel. The material is not so delicate, however, that it will not stand up to average lounging and sleeping. With proper care, a satin robe can last years.

Embroidered satin makes a beuatiful robe.

Satin robes are available for men and women in a range of sizes. They are often sold in sets with other satin sleepwear or as individual accompaniments to related pajama designs. The wonderful look and feel of satin means it can be worn with satin or other pj's, or even alone when snuggling up with your sweetheart. Plus size satin robes come lined and unlined. You may prefer to get a lined robe for cooler months and a lighter, unlined style for warmer seasons. Linings may be plush, cotton, chenille, brushed satin or another material.

There are a variety of styles of plus size satin robes available for individual needs and preferences. Long, mid-length and short robes are available. Long robes work well with pajama pant sets and long nightgowns, while shorter styles are fitting with short sleep shirts, chemises, slips and pajama shorts sets.

Typically, robes will cinch or tie with a sash or belt enclosure made of the same or complementary satin as the robe itself. Zip-front, button-front and pull-on satin robes are also available. Caftan and long, loose styles are popular choices for lounging comfort. Sleeve types vary, available as:

• Kimono style sleeves
• Long slit sleeves
• Three-quarter length sleeves
• Half-sleeves
• Scalloped-edge sleeves
• Short sleeves
• Flirty peasant-edge sleeves

Short satin robes are perfect over camisoles.

Long-gone is the myth that big, beautiful women need to wear dark colors. Modern style and image consultants suggest going for colors that you love, that make you feel good, and work well with your skin tone. Plus size robes are available in a wide range of colors, from pretty pastels to deep, bold hues.

Accents for robes include edged piping, contrasting colored satin on sleeves and hem, lace edging, and chenille or other soft trim. Floral patterns are also commonly designed for satin robes and are excellent for curvy women. Small patterns trick the eye and hide flaws, while larger patterns can help make your body appear more proportional.

Extended sizing in satin robes and sleepwear is available at many department stores such as JCPenney and Nordstrom. Many women's clothing and lingerie stores also carry a good selection of satin intimates, including:

• Just My Size
• Roamans
• Lingerie at Large
• Woman Within
• Catherine's

Prices vary depending on the materials, manufacturer, length and style. Many styles are available from $25 to $80.

We at LoveToKnow Lingerie love satin, but not every plus size satin robe style grabs our fancy. Here are some of the styles we love:

• This Satin Lace Trim Robe available at Romans is beautiful and elegant. The rich chocolate with ivory lace trim offers a pleasing contrast, and the matching lace trim gown is adorable as well.

• This Short Satin Robe available from Lingerie at Large is ultra sexy and feminine. The flirty lace details, tie-front closure and long, slit sleeves are perfect for a romantic evening. The vivid blue, cherry red and brilliant buttercup all make a sassy statement.

• The short Floral Satin Robe in light blue from Catherine's offers a perfect touch of femininity with scalloped edging and slim belt closure.

Many satin robes can be laundered at home using a gentle cycle and detergent formulated for delicates. However, always check the manufacturer instructions to ensure the proper care.
