"Lovely Parker style coat, just what I was looking for, however sizing for a shorter 50+ woman who is slightly overweight is not great. I returned a medium after being told it would be ok for a size 16-18 but it was very tight across the stomach and hips fine every where else. Now have a large which is ok slightly too big but really long. Going to persevere with it as I love the design and colour. Maybe more size options would be a good idea?"
"I am 5ft 6 and a size 14 but always have to buy a 16 in tops. I purchased a size medium and its a perfect fit. Im not going to lie, I always had a little laugh to myself at the amount of people out in a dryrobe just casually walking around and never really understood why. However i have just purchased the new dryrobe Parka for walking my dog and I am blown away at how amazing it is. I am able to stay dry and warm for the first time ever. I am now fully converted and want to wear it everywhere. Roll on winter, im ready for ya!"
"I am so disappointed with the customer service - I ordered my dryrobe over 2 weeks ago for a particular event. The DPD delivery was to a completely wrong address & wasn’t even left with them. I have explained all of this to customer service and they are waiting to see what DPD say about the matter- whilst I’m still waiting for an item I’ve paid for but has not been delivered."
"Excellent news you have made a winter waterproof parka . Already love my traditional Dryrobe robe and lightweight jacket . Arrived within 48 hours of order and looks and feels excellent . Just need some colder / wet weather to try it out"
"I've been looking to buy a dryrobe for a while now but when I heard a new parka was due to be released i decided to wait - and WOW, I am so glad I did. I ordered it on the day of release and it was delivered a few days later and I absolutely love it. Im 5'4, uk size 10, weigh 9st7lb, and bought a size small, and its perfect. Plenty of room for layers but not so big i looked swamped in it. Literally cannot wait for the colder weather to wear it."
"It’s for a joint birthday and Xmas present for our daughter she has tried it on and loves it she struggles to get hoods that fit her but this fits perfect she also loves the magnetic front fastening over the zip. She just fuming now as it’s back in the box and hidden ."
"Excellent new product, just right for walking the dog. Really like two pockets on each side of chest and the magnetic front closure is genius. Purchased a Large for woman 5ft 9in tall and size 18 it’s perfect with room underneath."
"Medium was perfect size for a women (16) Colour perfect Cosy and warm After trying the changing Robe with no success this was just right"
"I absolutely love this coat. Snug and waterproof perfect for walking my dog love the magnetic fastening"
"Received my new waterproof parka today. Very speedy delivery with DPD. Love the new slimmer silhouette of the new waterproof parka (I also own a Dryrobe Advanced). I wanted it primarily for dog walking / walking on the beach with less bulk than you get in the Advanced. Opted for the Deep Sea Blue in a Medium (fits perfectly a women’s size 16 with room for an extra layer, although I think it will be pretty warm anyway). Also loving the two inner pockets as well as outer and the magnetic placket closure, much better than press studs. Can’t wait to try it out now!"
