Cotton bridal robes and bridal pajamas for the getting-ready hours. Soft double gauze stays cool under the makeup lights, photographs matte instead of shiny, and hides creases through a long wedding morning. Every robe opens at the front and ties at the waist, so it comes off without touching finished hair. Dress the bride in white and the bridal party in one coordinating colour, and everyone keeps wearing theirs long after the wedding.
A bride robe in white
The bride usually wears white so she stands out in every group photo.
- The Double Gauze Kimono Cardigan in white is the clean, classic bride robe, a bride getting ready robe that photographs well.
- The Nazar White Muslin Robe carries a painted evil eye on the back, a Mediterranean good-luck charm for the day.
- The Moon Phase Kimono Robe in white adds a fine moon-phase design that feels special without competing with the dress.
- For a softer, hooded bride kimono, choose the Crescent Moon Hooded Muslin Robe in white.
Bridesmaid robes in coordinating colours
Choose one colour that suits your wedding palette:
- Black for the strongest contrast with the bride's white.
- Sage green for garden, vineyard and coastal weddings.
- Beige for an all-neutral bridal party.
The kimono cardigan, the moon phase robe and the Evil Eye Cardigan all come in these shades. Matching bridesmaid robes can be the same style in one colour, or the same colour in different styles if each bridesmaid would rather choose her own.
Bridal pajamas and bridesmaid pjs
For the night before or a slow wedding morning, our muslin pajama sets work as bridal pjs, bride pajamas and bridesmaid pajamas, so the whole bridal party wears wedding pajamas that match:
- The Muslin Loungewear Set with Shorts comes in white, beige, black or sage green, so the bride wears white as her bride pajama set and the party matches.
- The Muslin Loungewear Set with Pants comes in sage green or black, for cooler mornings.
Both have a long-sleeve tie-front top, so the bride can slip it off without disturbing hair or makeup. The bottoms have an elastic waist and pockets.
Robes for summer and destination weddings
Getting ready somewhere warm calls for cotton, not satin. Double gauze lets air through and rolls into a suitcase without creasing. It also doubles as a beach cover-up for the rest of the trip or the honeymoon. For packing ideas, see our guides to what to wear to a beach wedding and honeymoon outfits.
FAQ
Are these robes and pajamas good bridesmaid gifts?
Yes. They're plain, well-made cotton pieces, so your bridesmaids will keep wearing them at home and on holiday long after the wedding. A robe and a matching pajama set makes a complete gift. See all our bridesmaid gifts, including towels for the proposal box.
Are white cotton bridal robes see-through?
Double gauze is two layers woven together, so it's much more opaque than single-layer gauze. Wear nude-toned underwear underneath, as with any white fabric.
What size should I order?
Order your usual dress size. The tie-waist kimono cut is forgiving, and if you're between sizes, size up for a softer drape. Robes and sets come in S, M and L.
Should the bride wear a robe or pajamas while getting ready?
Many brides wear both: pajamas the night before and early in the morning, then a robe for hair, makeup and photos. Either way, choose a front-opening top so it comes off without touching your hair. Read our full guide to bridal robes and bridesmaid robes.
Why choose cotton bridal robes instead of satin?
Cotton photographs matte, doesn't show sweat marks, and stays cool under warm lights. Satin can look shiny on camera and gets hot through a long morning.
