This robe is so soft. I love the weight of it and it feels so luxurious. I am 5'3 and the length is mid calf. It is great length for night gowns or pj pants. It washes beautifully and packs well while traveling. I bought the black robe and purchased the gray as a gift. The gray is great shade of light pewter. I am considering buying this color for myself, as well.
