Dressing gown for me. I find it really strange when people call it a house coat, sounds like something from Downton Abbey

I call it a dressing gown but in certain areas of Scotland it is common for it to be known as a house coat. I don't actually own a dressing gown, my son is the only one who has a dressing gown in our house.

Dressing gown for sure! I love mine, wear it most times even with heaters on full. Keeps me nice and warm

I've always called it a dressing gown. I have several of them, thick and thin ones for different times of the year.

RegularComper90 Its just stupid! Also according to dictionary.com I cant wear one "a woman's robe or dress like garment in various lengths, for casual wear about the house" I'm wrong gender lol.

dressing gown .... House coat conjures up a quilted nylon button-up thingummy .... or a white doctor's coat!

Dressing gown but my grandad calls it a house coat lol it's very common in Scotland

Definitely dressing gown for me, house coat sounds strange. The whole point of a coat is to wear it outside so why would you have one for inside?
