I saw this and wondered what IceMaiden would make of it!
Struggle to get out of bed? Now you can wear your DUVET! Scientists develop a stylish coat made from actual quilts - but it has an eye-watering price tag
EXCLUSIVE: A bedding company has designed a coat fashioned from duvets
The design will go on sale next month, with a starting pricetag of £450
At the start of January I bought a Big Black Coat from Tesco, which with 25% off for Clubcard I think was just under £50.
I told myself I needed it as my bellringers winter coat. There can be a lot of waiting around in cold churches whilst awaiting your turn, and said coat which goes well below the knee was just what I needed.
However, mother has used it a lot, since when sat in a wheelchair a coat that falls below the knees even when you are sat down is a bonus.
Yesterday we had a mini outing, ringing in North Dorset and one tower in Somerset. Each tower was a little colder than the previous one - and someone described my coat as the next best thing to a duvet. The last tower was at Bishop's Caundle (next to Stourton Caundle - of Finniston Farm fame) where it was so cold that I actually rang whilst still wearing my coat.
Those look kind of odd, like some religious robes of some sort. They don't look like night wear though so that's ok . I wouldn't wear one however, they look quite heavy and uncomfortable.

I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And A̶n̶ ̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶f̶a̶s̶h̶i̶o̶n̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶
