The robe is thick, warm, plush and very soft...I adore it! I got the purple color, and mine is definitely purple, not burgundy. I'm 5'4 and it hits me just above the ankle, so it's the perfect length. The sleeve length is also ideal for me, as it covers my wrists. I haven't washed it yet, so I'm not able to comment on that, but for over half off the retail price, this is a great deal!
