"Bigger size needed"
I am a 12-14 size and this robe was too small to go around my body with any fullness ( not like the photos) The side pockets ( love side pockets) actually are almost hip pockets. I know it was just one size fits all but perhaps you might consider making a bigger size for those of us who have a bigger body type. I will give the robe to a daughter for Christmas. Otherwise, the fabric and design are lovely.

"Such a lovely color! Reminds me of tropical sea."
I actually bought two of this style dress in different colors. Beautiful batik material. Loose and comfortably cool to wear in hot sticky weather. Well made and pockets too! I have a large bust and it is hard to find a good fit. This works for me and the coverage i.e. modest. Please consider other color in this style. A very nice shopping experience. Recommend it!

"Love this dress"
The color is beautiful. Its well made, runs true to size and is cool and comfortable to wear during our hot, humid Florida summers. Im so glad I bought two in different color tones. Will you consider doing this style in rose or coral pink?

This dress is amazing! I love the quality of the material and its pod keys are very deep. It does run large though so I would recommend the next size down.
