Extremely soft, coral more peach, runs a bit large
Why is it so difficult to get an inexpensive soft pink robe with pockets? I purchased this after months of searching for that perfect fluffy robe--this is very nearly it.
SOFTNESS: This is so so soft and fluffy! Much softer than the Richie House robe I purchased, which retails for over 150% the price of this one! It is so soft, and not too heavy. I can't stop running my fingers over the fabric.
COLOR: A note that I purchased coral, size S - the color is much more like peach (which I prefer) compared to the coral in the website image, running coral pink in the daylight and more peach in artificial light. See the attached image in artificial light. I also purchased the fuchsia but will be returning - it is more like magenta, running very cool-toned (which I don't like).
SIZE: For reference, I am 5'6", 145 lbs, with large hips, a small bust, and a broad chest. The sleeves are a bit big (widthwise) and long, so I rolled them up. I would order a size down--this runs large. (I am normally small/medium, and small was a bit too big. Then again--it's a robe! No harm in a bit too big.)
STYLE: The pockets are a nice size, not too small. A downside (to me) is that when worn, the robe hangs naturally on the sides, exposing much of the middle. There is of course a tie which can be used, but unless it is tied tightly, it will not stay closed.
LAUNDRY and WASHING: I ran it through the wash (cold water, hang dry) and it held together well. However, the fabric loop hanging from the inside neck (used to hang clothes up) actually fell off in the washer! The part where the loop was originally became unsewn with some hanging threads. I sewed it back on without problem; this probably warrants a star off, but I love this robe too much to deduct a star (I probably would have given 4 stars if it was more expensive).
I plan to purchase the rose x-small once it comes back in stock. Hope this was helpful!
