I just got this robe today and it already ripped. When I opened the package there was an unpleasant smell but I tried it on and it fit ok. Since there was no care/washing instructions sewn on the robe, I  decided to wash it on the gentle cycle to try to get the odor out. Huge mistake! One of the sleeves was totally ripped when I took it out the washer.  Since I could not return it, I took it to the cleaners to have it repaired which cost me almost as much as I originally paid for it.  Don't waste your money on this.  It looks pretty but is poorly made.
