This is perfection! I chose the lighter material for coming summer months but I have a feeling putting my plush heavy robe back on next winter will feel way too bulky and this will be my go to robe year round. The material is soft and flowing and cut in just the right way to give my hips some shape for a very feminine fit. I'm about 5'6 and 280 so I'm not able to find normal sized robes that close properly with the tie, always have gaps and constantly fixing the tie, if I can get it around my hips to close at all. This fits me perfectly! It's made with extra fabric in front to overlap to keep me covered when I sit and stays closed after I stand back up. I know that sounds simple but it's really the difference between wearable and irritating! I saw that the size ran big for others and I wanted it to be a loose fit so I was unsure about doing a 2x or a 3x and ended up getting the smaller size and it's like it's been tailored to fit me! I can wash my hands and clean the countertop without the sleeves getting in the way but they're still long enough to fall right at my wrists beautifully. It is a touch long, maybe only an inch, just enough to have to be careful walking up the stairs, not quite stepping on it but, close enough to make me take care not to. I still wouldn't want it any shorter because the length makes it feel very elegant and flowing, nevermind keeping me covered up! Buy this robe. Seriously. This only took 2 days to ship to me and arrived with a note offering not just a return if I didn't love it, but a custom fit to my measurements and/or swatches of the different weights of fabric it's available in if I wanted it heavier or lighter. I'm thinking I got the lightest fabric option but I'm still thinking about asking for the swatches to order another one in a different weight and I keep thinking of the women in my life who deserve this perfect robe for a gift!
