This bathrobe is a very rich purple color and so very soft.  I'm 5'5" and this is the perfect length, not too long or too short.  It is perfect for those cold mornings to keep you warm.  I use it when I get out of my hot tub and want to keep that nice warm feeling.  Mostly I just like the rich purple color, because most bathrobes are more lavender or violet.  A definite keeper.
