I love wrapping up in it after a shower or exercising in the pool. I am 5'10 inches and huge, yet the length is almost too long in slippers. I love the purple too. I thought the terrycloth fabric would be thicker, but being a medium weight makes it more versatile. There are two roomy pockets placed just right for carrying a cell phone and Kleenex or digging your hands in to stay warm. The only problem with this robe is that I want to wear it all the time.
