    Ehh. Not strictly true. They’re very similar, but the differences are somewhat important.

    Snuggies are rectangular, and bathrobes are not. Bathrobes don’t have hoods, but a backwards Snuggie basically does have one because of the extra material. For related reasons, the top edge / collar of the bathrobe is much less comfortable on the neck when worn backwards than is the equivalent Snuggie.

    Then there’s the matter of belt loops, belt and pocket locations which are a complete mismatch.

    Finally, the material of a Snuggie is generally not designed to be absorbent like a bathrobe is. If anything, this changes your assertion to “a dressing gown worn backwards is a snuggie”, but the since the rest of the above arguments still apply, it’s still not quite accurate.
