What (probably children's, probably old) book contains a reference to a 'chiffon robe'?) (lemmy.world)

Weirdly specific question I know. Hoping it stirs someone's memory.

You might mean "chifforobe," a type of wardrobe, which appears a number of times in "To Kill a Mockingbird" (spelled "chiffarobe.")

Haha, no way that totally could be it. Especially as I kept thinking it was in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Funny how memories do be like that

Google Books can help you search, although nothing jumps out at me as being probably the thing you're looking for.

Chiffon is a style of fabric, so it could have been used in just about anything.
