My most recent robe was made of a heavier fleece material, but since I previously had a waffle-weave style robe that I liked much better, I searched on Amazon until I found this one.  Although the product listing here only describes this robe as "Short," the tag on my robe gives the size as "Small."  That was fine with me, but I was a bit concerned by the information included with the packaging, which stated that this robe was designed to shrink upon washing; I wasn't sure that I would still like the fit after shrinking!  However, I washed my robe (in cold, on gentle) before wearing and dried it on low, and I did not notice any appreciable shrinking.

So far, I really like this robe.  I am just under 5'5" tall, and the robe falls a little bit below knee length on me (the model they show here must be very short!).  I like that the sleeves are shorter than on my previous robe--they go just past my elbows, which means that they aren't in the way when I am doing things like brushing my teeth, putting in my contacts, etc.  The robe has the waffle-weave texture on the outside but a smooth, silky feel on the interior.  When I first put it on coming out of the shower, I noticed that it wasn't as heavy as my old robe.  However, as I continued getting ready, I soon appreciated that this robe was more lightweight, as it kept me warm but did not cause me to become over-heated.  This robe also has two different levels at which to place the belt, making it more adjustable to your body.  Finally, I like that the collar is flat (as opposed to the popular shawl style), making it less bulky.

The only (minor) downsides I can see to this robe are that it does not have an interior tie (but I almost never used the one on my old robe anyway).  Also, although it does have a hanging strap on the inside, when I received my robe, one side of this strap was detached--luckily, this was a simply sewing repair which required less than 5 minutes to fix.  This robe is a bit on the expensive side, but I'm happy with it overall, and I would recommend it, with a final rating of 4 1/2 stars.
