Calvin Klein robe knockoff

I scored a luxurious CK robe on clearance in 1997 when I worked at a fancy department store in metro Detroit, and the fabric has become the definition of “threadbare”. I disassembled my beloved robe and remade it in heavy double terrycloth from organiccottonplus.com, dyed jet black with Rit, and I absolutely love it. It has a generous cut, raglan sleeves, and an ingenious under collar shaping that makes it lofty and cozy. I winged it in a few places that I shouldn’t have and I haven’t hemmed it yet, but I have it completed enough for me to wear and enjoy.

I reused the CK tag in my robe, though the dye makes it illegible. I don’t care, I have my beloved fancy robe back again. 🖤
