Dressing gown (bathrobe?) for G8

Anyone know of a dForce dressing gown (I think Americans call them bathrobes) for G8f and G8M? I need one with morphs to open. I have one for G3M but it is not dForce and the included belt distorts terribly when morphed to open. I tried to add dForce to it and also tried to fit it to G8M but failed miserably with both after wasting a couple of hours in the effort.

Ideally something like this but with open morphs:

    This has open morphs: https://www.daz3d.com/i13-hq-bathrobe-for-the-genesis-3-female-s

    It is for Genesis 3 but probably could be converted or fitted to Genesis 8.

    That's the one I mentioned above which distorts the belt. You're right though - it is G3F, not G3M. As I say, I spent a couple of hours converting it and trying to get it to drape nicely but failed.

    The "site which must not be named" and makes people's heads explode has a female robe that is dforce and kind of opens; it's sheer but could always be retextured.  It also has one of two male robes that I've seen that opens but it's for M4 (definitely pre-dForce)

    Renderosity has another male robe that opens, for G8M, but it has a hood and no sleeves.  Not dForce I don't think, but the morphs look good.  Vendor is dzheng.

    Hope you find what you need.

    Would this work for you.

    I tried it on Genesis 8.1.

    I was thinking of the same site, but not the sheer robe by Matteo IO. The one that came to mind is "Bed Gown For Victoria 8" by Halcyone and faintblue.

    I have that set too. I can give it a try but it doesn't open and I have not had much luck converting G2 to G8 garments. If I try to add dForce the problem is the belt on all of these sets. It just distorts wildly and is almost impossible to open realistically.

    I hope some enterprising PA is looking in on this thread - I am guessing such a robe with opening features would be a big seller. Things like this serve as a reminder that I have Marvelous Designer 8 sitting doing nothing on my PC and I really ought to make an effort to learn how to make things like this. How hard could it be?

    I'll wander over there and take a peek at what they have.

    Speaking of texturing: I have lots of IRay cloth shaders but nothing for towel materials. I will look out for one because it would be very useful.

    Retextured with a woolen fabric that would make a nice coat also...

    Have had great use and success with this for towels and bathrobes:  https://www.daz3d.com/dg-iray-fur-flocking-scales-shader-presets.  I find it effective for Wide, Full and Medium shots.  For close ups it tends to look a little "spiky"  so I keep the texture and use Vyktohria's Convert It (Basic Cloth setting) from the other store.  That said, I've only done that for a towel which was needed in a number of scenes.  There are other shaders that may do the trick so YMMV.

     Yes, I have some fur shaders and it is possible to make some of them look like towel material with a few tweaks. Still, the look was not quite right so a proper towel shader would be welcome. I usually buy the shaders that DAZ includes in the PC+ (DAZ+) sales which is why I have so many but I like using shaders as they are not limited by UV maps and are therefore so versatile.
