Mom took a picture of herself in the dress and sent it to me so that's how I know she really likes it! She looked adorable in the dress as she added some red assessors to create an outfit that popped.
I've purchased multiple robes from Novica. They are all rayon but this one is unbelievably soft and drapes perfectly compared to the others (the others are a bit stiffer and need some ironing). The pattern is gorgeous, elegant and unique. I am 5'3" and the robe hits right above the tops of my feet. The belt loops and pockets are very low on me (lands upper thigh) but I just remove the belt loops and leave the pockets as-is.
The pattern and color are exactly as shown on picture. The fabric is soft and light. Very lose fit so you go even go for one size down. There are 2 side pockets that can happen to be too high up for use if you go one side down as I did. Loved it!
