This was a random Christmas gift I have really ended up enjoying. I got the black one with floral print. It's sheer and lightweight. It is not a bathrobe, or something you can wear alone. This is a see-through wrap that doesn't close in the front. I found it perfect for slipping on to wear around the house post-surgery, and it had the added bonus of making me feel somewhat nicely dressed (compared to a sweatshirt) and not so grubby and gross. I think it would be a great gift for anyone in my position for that reason, and because it is easy to put on for people that are having trouble putting on anything that has to go over the head.

I don't know what the directions say, but I would only ever hand-wash this item. It seems too fragile to go through any kind of machine.
