This is a very pretty robe.  I wear a 1X and ordered the XL according to the chart.  Due to the attached belt the fit is a little awkward.  What I mean is that the robe doesn't cross over in the front nicely because of my full bust and hips.  I choose to keep this robe because it's nice to wear around the house, the lace and shiny satin fabric are so pretty and the robe doesn't scratch or tickle me.  It's comfortable and suits my purpose.  I actually appreciate having the belt attached because other, pricier robes I have had were difficult to manage the belts in the belt loops due to slippage or loss (of the belt/tie).
