Flannel Robe Fireside Red Plaid
Pickup available at High Street (Downtown Edmonton)
Usually ready in 2-4 days
The red version of the dressing gown that earns the word. Same hand-guided floral embroidery on the lapels as the Saratoga, same full-length format and interior tie — but in April Cornell's deep red yarn-dyed cotton check, the Fireside Robe has a different energy entirely. Warmer, more celebratory, the kind of robe that looks like it belongs in a scene involving a fireplace and something good to drink. The embroidery on the lapels is worked by hand, which gives each piece a slightly individual quality you can see up close. It's the detail that makes the difference between a cotton robe and a proper dressing gown.
Sash belt with interior ties so it stays closed without relying on the sash. Side seam pockets. 52" long on a 5'8" model in a Small. Limited stock — this arrived in small quantities and won't be replenished when it sells through. April Cornell has been making pieces like this since 1972.

Good to Know
What does hand-guided embroidery mean?
The floral embroidery on the lapels is guided by hand during production rather than being fully automated — there's a human element in the placement and execution that gives each piece a slightly individual quality. It's the kind of detail that's easy to overlook in a product shot and impossible to overlook in person.
How is this different from the Saratoga Robe?
Same price, same format, same hand-guided embroidery and interior tie. Different fabric and mood. The Saratoga is brushed cotton plaid in deep blue-green — cooler, more classic, heirloom-tailored. The Fireside is yarn-dyed cotton check in deep red — warmer, more celebratory, the one that reads as festive without being limited to a single season. Both full-length, both $170, both hang to dry.
Does this pair with the Fireside Nightgown?
Yes — the Fireside Red Plaid Nightgown ($145) is the same yarn-dyed cotton check and designed to be worn together. Both available at Cloud Nine while stock lasts.
Good gift?
At $170 with hand embroidery, it's one of the most considered gifts we carry — the red makes it feel festive and immediately special, and the full-length format with embroidered lapels makes it look like something from a boutique in France rather than a standard robe. Strong for significant milestone gifts, holiday giving, and anyone who appreciates beautiful craft.
Care?
Machine wash cold separately on a gentle cycle, hang to dry. Cold washing keeps the red saturated and the yarn-dye from fading — the gentle cycle protects the embroidery threads and the self-fabric belt over time.
April Cornell size guide
Romantic prints, heirloom details, and the kind of breezy cotton nightgowns you'll reach for all summer long (and well into winter, if we're honest). April Cornell generally fits true to size, so start with the size you usually wear.
Good to know: the measurements below are taken from the garment itself, not the body, so they include a little breathing room. Sizing can vary slightly from style to style.
Petite? Long nightgowns usually measure 49–53" (124–135 cm) from shoulder to hem. If you're under 5'1", they may be longer than you'd like, so a shorter style could be your happy place.
