Very nice
This is a really nice robe. It's made of heavy soft cotton. Like terry cloth on the inside and softer on the outside. The price is nice too. You probably won't find a better robe at more than twice the price.
The first day I had it I washed it in warm water and dried it on high heat and it shrunk just a little, an inch at the most on the sleeves and vertical length. All the information provided in this review is after the wash. The tag says: wash in cold water and dry on low heat. Drying this heavy garment on low heat would take a couple of hours. The way I see it, if I can't wash it the way I wash my other clothes then I probably don't want it. Sometimes I buy a bigger size if I know it's not preshrunk. I expect it has shrunk all it's going to.
I was worried about the size because I'm stocky and overweight. This thing fits great. I would guess that if you are between 5'2" and 5'10" you would like the fit. It is wide enough to favor us heavy people. If you are 5' even, then it would likely reach your ankles. If you are 6' even, it would probably show off your knees. My arms are on the short side so the sleeves cover my palms.
Since there is almost no sizing info here I thought I would provide some measurements. All measurements are after the wash.
* Width from arm pit to arm pit: 28".
* Length from neck tag to bottom: 46".
* Width at bottom: 59".
* Width at belt line: 59".
* Width from sleeve end to sleeve end: 66".
* Belt length: 72".
