As the weather warms up I looked a very long time for a beautiful rayon robe that when washed would feel like cool water against my skin.
I found this beautiful cream colored robe with arabesques scrolls ... ordered it... and I was ELATED when it arrived. It's exactly what I was looking for!
I washed it right away... on the delicate cycle in my washing machine and hung it dry. The following day I put it in my dryer with the steam setting on and it came out of the dryer feeling like cool running water over my skin! I am obsessed! I already ordered a second robe in another color!
I am impressed by the fine craftsmanship. The seams are expertly done with no raw edges. The weight is light but non too light. I love the fabric and the design and colors. I also liked the pants pocket design. There are no belt loops but their positioning would need to vary according to height anyway, so - I'm very pleased
There are not too many garments available to an 83 year old woman that would truly lift her spirits. The robe speaks to me of traditional Japanese design as do the colors. I see that there was a great deal of thought expressed in the placement of the design in the cloth so that it would be shown to the best advantage in the style of the robe. The fabric is a perfect choice, rather than cotton for this elegant robe! I am grateful that Novica is nurturing these wonderful artists because such uniqueness is not to be found elsewhere!
