Wardrobe Basics - the Sheer Red Robe

Today my desk experienced a run of this lovely sheer red robe (panty not included.) We do sell a nice variety of high-quality low-end (think one size fits most) lingerie such as the HOT line from Shirley of Hollywood. La Perla it is not, but it's nice enough and it won't break the bank.

In my mind, a robe is something of an accessory, not a lingerie main event. I was surprised to be shipping single-item orders (yes, multiple orderS!) for this today in droves.
It's too last-minute - not to mention far too inappropriate - to be Mother's Day related. It must be a sign of summer lovin' in the air.

It makes me think about the customers - perhaps these ladies already have the perfect little number to wear and simply need something to provide the illusion of a coverup? Or maybe the lingering chilly weather means a gal needs more layers, even in the budoir? Who's to say - all I can do is marvel at the popularity of the red-like-it-means-it robe.
