I bought this as a gift for a "plus sized" gal friend.  Her older robe was getting a little tattered.  I purposely bought it because it WAS somewhat on the big side.  I am glad I did.  It is VERY warm (my bud is always cold ... lol) and she loves it.  The weight of the material is heavier than I expected but it suits and fits her quite comfy and she is very very happy with this.  This is definitely a BEST BUY at Christmas time ...
