I don`t mind you asking at all! I used polycotton from Minerva Crafts
https://www.minervacrafts.com/shop/fabric/dress-fabrics&type=Polycotton
For something like this I prefer polycotton as it doesn`t crease as much as 100% cotton. It cost £2.99 per metre and I made size M which took 4 metres - plus it needs a sizeable bit of fusible interfacing for the collar and down the front edge (the pattern says 1.6metres but you can patch fusible interfacing it you don`t have a piece large enough to do it in one go)
If you do make it please note my comments about the tiny seam allowance on the pattern - just add 3/8 to everything and sew a standard 5/8 seam and you should be fine

For practice pieces, duvet covers from charity shops can provide a lot of fabric for not a lot of cash. I'm sure you'd be able to find a polycotton one that would be suitable for a summer dressing gown.
