So one mum decided to have a look around for a dupe, and found one on Shein for £40.

"I wanted a Dryrobe for ages but I'm not paying for a Dryrobe," Bex said in a video on her TikTokpage.

"So I got Shein one and this is it."

After struggling to get it out of the bag it came in, Bex noted that she could use the bag to put her swimming costume in.

"Waterproofy outside, inside is fully lined with this pretend sheepskin," she said.

She then put the coat on, and exclaimed: "Oh wow, I'm really pleased!

"Massive pocket on the inside, a little zippy pocket on the inside.

"Do you know what? Can this just be my new coat?

"I feel like this is just going to be my coat from now on!

"How great!"

She added that while she doesn't have a dog, if she ever wanted to go on a dog walk with a friend she would be wearing her dupe, "to look like a dog walker".

"Warm, comfy, cosy," Bex continued her gushing review.

"And where it's so big, I can still wear hoodies, and all my other layers underneath!"

She demonstrated the cuffs of the coat that can be adjusted to make them smaller.

And she concluded: "Do you know what?

"I'm going to give this a big 10/10. £40!

"You can't go wrong for £40!"

"Yes. I am a fashion BloGgEr," Bex captioned her video.

"That massive pocket on the left side is for a hot water bottle babe," one person commented on the clip.

"Well that’s made my day!" Bex added.

"Have this … I can confirm it’s waterproof," another wrote.

"It is my everyday coat now!"

"Do you get your size or bigger?" a third asked.

"It just comes in one size," Bex responded.
