Both are correct. It �s personal preference. I call it a dressing gown. |

Hi: We also call it a bathrobe in North America. (a robe you put on after a shower or bath - usually made of the same material as a towel) |

When I was a kid they were called "housecoats." I haven �t heard that for years though. I use "dressing gown" for anything that isn �t made of the same material as towels, and "bath robe" if it is made of toweling. |

Robe, bathrobe, housecoat .... all good. Matter of preference really. Personally, I �d use bathrobe for something towel-like as spinney pointed out. |
