I bought this to wear for a hospital stay so that I could still wear a hospital gown but be covered when walking around.  This robe looks just as good in person as it does in the picture.  I'm just under 5'2" and about 105 lbs, and the hem of the robe barely touches the ground (perfect length for me) and there's plenty of fabric to wrap around.  It's polyester, but it's very light and comfortable, and if something happens to it it's inexpensive so I won't be devastated.  I'm very happy with it.
