The first clothing we designed for our Bariatric shop was the faithful all-rounder, the Lounger-Day Dress, made popular by our sister firm,The Big Bloomers Company. The original pattern for our lounger was made by a manufacturer whose wife was a diabetic and suffered with obesity problems. He designed the lounger at first as a nightie with plenty of freedom over the hips. We asked him to make a few modifications to the design and changed it into the lounger (kaftan). You can now buy a larger version here in our Bariatric shop. We were gratified to find that some of our Big Bloomers customers were still buying the lounger to wear as a nightie and we have no doubt that our Bariatric Shop customers will do the same because the garment is very roomy and free flowing over the hips. However, we have now manufactured the nightie version in a lightweight jersey cotton - its a little bit longer than the lounger - see photo on the right hand side.

Our Lounger Day Dresshas been a huge success with our customers, some choosing to use it as a nightie and others using it as a simple day dress to just…. well, lounge about in!
When we came to put our Freesize35 range together, top of the list (after the Freesize35 knickers, of course) was the lounger/nightie. We were already making this garment in graded sizes from 5XL to 8XL which gives 85 inches (216 cms) over the hips but now, after talking to several of our customers, we realised that there were ladies who, to feel unrestricted, needed a good 100 inches (254 cms) over the hips. And so, that’s what we’ve done, the Lounger is generously proportioned - a stylish, roomy, flowing sort of garment to relax and feel comfortable in. The material is 100% cotton and superbly comfortable and that seems to be the reason that some of our customers are using it as a nightie. We at Big Bloomers don’t mind, we’re just happy to have been able to provide big ladies with a nice, easy to wear, comfortable piece of clothing that they are happy to wear either indoors, out of doors or in bed.
The Lounger comes in a choice of two colours, black or a deep pink. For a little decorative relief, the black Lounger is picked out with deep pink stitching and the pink Lounger is picked out with black stitching, that’s all, we feel that the garment makes its own statement without too much fussing and decoration.
We think you’ll agree with us when we say that at Big Bloomers, we start where other manufacturers finish. When we say we make clothing for big people, that is exactly what we mean, our Lounger – or nightie and our knickers have been specially designed to fit outsize women and you’ll find this garment will still fit you comfortably when you weigh as much (if not more) as 40 stones. Making big clothing for big women is what we do, its what we’re proud to do and we do it well. Once you’ve bought a Big Bloomers Freesize35 Lounger, you’ll be a customer with us for life.

Hi Dianne, in answer to your email, no, that's not a new lounger, it has been through the wash lots of times, it keeps its shape and its colour. Just shows what good material you use at Big Bloomers. Thanks to all of the team there, keep up the good work. Brenda x
