Love this robe, very feminine and material nice. I already washed it and didn't seem to shrink, if so then very little. I did iron as right out of the dryer doesnt have the smooth look I like but you could wear not ironed. My only complaint is I wish there were snaps instead of buttons, would be easier to get into and out of. I may consider putting Velcro and leave the buttons for show since they are so pretty.
