I bought this robe to replace one that I'd had for years, and loved. I found that white, terry cloth robes are very hard to find in the stores, so I looked online. This one looked like a good replacement. It was roomy, and slightly longer than my other robe, but still comfortable. After washing it, there were a few loose threads, but nothing I can't deal with. Hopefully, this robe will last as long as my last one.
