Why this towel-dress beats robes, wraps and towels after sport..
Why changing out of your workout gear matters
You’ve just finished training, swimming or hitting the gym. Your body is warm, damp, and you want to feel comfortable, covered and cool.
Traditionally you might reach for a dressing gown, a bathrobe, an unflattering wrap-cover up, or a big beach towel. But here’s where they fall short:
-
A bulky dressing gown or robe can feel heavy, slow to dry, and not designed for active cooling.
-
A plain towel or quick-dry gym towel may absorb moisture but lacks the fit and style to wear as you transition from workout to chill-out.
-
A poncho or loose cover-up might cover you but often lacks functional features (pockets, secure fit, adjustability) and isn’t designed for modern life.
What you need is a garment that offers absorbency, breathability, mobility, and style in one. That’s why we created our solution using terry-towelling (also called terrycloth) - the absorbent loop-pile fabric you know from towels and robes, but engineered into a dress.
Absorbency turned into performance
Terry towelling is a fabric defined by tiny loops of yarn that stand up from the base fabric which significantly increases surface area and absorption. The loops draw moisture from your skin and allow it to evaporate quickly.
Because of this construction terry towelling (terrycloth) offers benefits such as:
-
High absorbency: it handles post-sweat or pool moisture better than thinner fabrics.
-
Quick drying: unlike thick bathrobes the loop-pile fabric reduces damp heaviness and helps you cool down.
-
Soft, comfortable feel: so you can stay comfortable while you transition from active mode to relaxed mode.
-
Enough structure to wear as a dress rather than just a cover-up.
When you compare that to a standard bath towel or robe, you see why the towel-dress is a stronger choice for recovery, layering and effortless style.
When a robe isn’t enough (and a towel is too little)
Let’s compare:
-
Robe / Dressing Gown: Heavy, often made of thick terry or velour. Good for warm-up or lounging but not optimal for mobility or quick-drying.
-
Towel / Beach or Gym Towel: Thin, usually flat, lacks fit or dress shape, no pockets, coverage is limited.
-
Towel Dress (the one): Absorbent terry-towelling fabric, dress silhouette, functional details (pockets, adjustable bust, strapless or secure fit) that let you move freely, dry off comfortably, cover up modestly, and transition seamlessly.
If you’re coming out of sport, hitting the sauna, cooling down at poolside or heading to shower then terrace, you want one piece that handles it all.
Why our dress works for the post-sport transition
Here are the reasons our terry-towelling dress is specifically designed for post-sport, poolside or after-gym wear:
-
The terry loop-pile absorbs sweat or water from training or swimming and helps your body cool down rather than staying damp.
-
The lightweight version of terry provides coverage without bulk: so you don’t feel like you’re putting on a bathrobe in motion.
-
Unlike basic towels you don’t need to wrap, tuck or hold it up. The dress form allows hands-free wear, deep pockets for phone or keys, and a flattering silhouette.
-
Designed for modesty and comfort: especially useful for women moving from sport to poolside to café.
-
Quick dry and easy care: deal for everyday use, gym bags, resort changing or travel.

When your workout’s done, when you’re stepping out of the pool, when you want one piece that dries, covers and works - this is it. No more bulky robes, no more loose towels, no more awkward changing.
One dress that fits, dries, covers and moves with you.
Because you deserve to Dry in Style.
