The color is beautiful.  The fabric is high quality.  It is lined making it adequate for winter, but it is not as heavy as many terry cloth robes.  I am 5'7" and 132 lbs.  I ordered a medium.  I washed it immediately and tumbled dry on low heat.  It shrunk just enough to fit me just as I wanted it- slightly large as it appears in the model.  Unlike other robes I tried and sent back, there is enough fabric to keep the robe wrapped completely around me, even when I sit down.  I definitely feel like I am at a spa when wearing it!
