I'm petite at 5'2 and 115 lbs.  The length of the robe is perfect for someone my size with plenty of coverage in the back.  stops right above my knees.  The length of the belt is also great for my small waist although I can see how it would be too short for a lot of people.  I guess Aquis changed the robe at one point because the picture here currently shows a robe with a long strap...but on my robe after I tie it around my waist there's only about 12" left hanging on both sides.  Great for me since My other robes have had their belts way too long, but others may not like that the belt is on the shorter side.  I love that it packs really small. Would've been the perfect travel bath robe. Unfortunately it's white so it's a tad see through when dry and that means it's going to be significantly more see-thru when wet.  Only buy this if you're only going to wear it inside the house or over a bathing suit as it will be see through on a sunny day. (and if it's wet it will likely be see through even at night). If it came in darker colors this might not have been a problem.  Too bad.  It's IMPOSSIBLE to find an absorbant, travel bathrobe for women.  The ones I could find aren't absorbant at all.  This one is. I tested the absorbancy by washing my hands at the sink and using the sleeve of the robe as a towel.  The material definitely wicks moisture away very quickly and is very fast drying.  If you don't mind the white/see through color this is definitely a great travel bath robe as the thin material means it packs small yet it's still very absorbant for it's weight.
