"Flattering Fit"
I adore this robe! The colors are muted but rich, similar to a pistachio. I'm 5' 7" about 130 lbs. and the robe falls just above my ankles. I will purchase another one in the future.

"Absolutely Gorgeous!"
I had been looking for a colorful summer robe when I found this site in Google search... The quality of both the beautifully sumptuous & soft fabric and the craftsmanship is far superior to anything I've seen in the stores. There is ample room in the flattering cut as well. I am thrilled to find this site and the unique quality merchandise - I love that it was crafted by an artisan and not in a inferior sweatshop somewhere - the price and quality are simply amazing. Kudos to Nat Geo for helping establish a site like this!
