I BOUGHT THE LONG VERSION FOR MYSELF AND LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I GOT THIS ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR XMAS, AND I KNOW SHE'LL LOVE THIS TOO. IT'S VERY FLATTERING MATERIAL, SOFT AND SLINKY. IT HANGS BEAUTIFULLY, AND LOOKS SMASHING. BOTH ROBES ARE VERY PRICEY, AND MUCH MORE THAN I ORDINARILY SPEND. I'M A DEDICATED THRIFT STORE SHOPPER. BUT I THINK THEY ARE HIGH QUALITY ITEMS AND WORTH THE MONEY.
