This gorgeous item is everything it says it is and more. The colors burst out but subtlety. It's made very well,all stitching secure and finished. This is my third robe,that should speak for itself.
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!
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.
