This coat gown is generous in fit, soft, washes up beautifully and comes out of the dryer with no wrinkles and packs easily. I would suggest going down one size if you are between 1x and 2x. The color is exactly the way the photo shows and is a deep hot pink color.  I bought the matching nightgown as well and the same can be said about it as the Petals robe.  It is comfortable enough to wear around the house and especially when visiting friends and you want something to throw on quickly to make those bathroom trips in the middle of the night or answer the door. The style is rather matronly, and is  suitable for mixed company or when you need something simple to wear while getting coffee in the morning. I find them both to be very comfortable and soft, although a bit slippery.
