I bought this as a gift and it is slightly shorter than my old one I bought years ago. As a bigger person (Size 2x) that bugged me but for a smaller woman it would be OK. If you have one you like, measure it and compare first. Arrived in plastic flat bag, very lightweight, didn't seem too impressive until you got it out and it fluffed/softened up slightly upon use. Feels very nice then and gets lots of compliments. Keep in a purse for a cool evening or friend's house, or throw on bed or couch to wrap your feet in it.
