I wear a woman's size 10 and this robe was swimming on me in a size M. I couldn't put my hands in the pockets because, when I tied the sash, the pockets were hidden in the folds of excess material. The sleeves went past my fingers.
In addition, the robe was too heavy and bulky for me. I live in Michigan, where the weather is cold. However, I need a new robe to wear inside the house, not outside in the snow!
In summary: if you keep your house cold and like really warm, fluffy robes, you will love this item. Also, watch out for the size -- it runs large. The robe is very well-made, and the both color & the raised pattern are lovely.
