I have been looking for a lightweight summer robe and from the other comments thought this might fit the bill. It's a nice-looking robe and I disagree with those who think it looks cheap; it appears to be well-made from decent fabric and has deep side-seam pockets, which I like. I already washed it once and put it through the dryer and it came out like new with no pilling or any other problems.
My complaint is that it's really too hot for a summer robe and heavier than I expected. I'll keep it for cooler spring and fall days but still need to find a lightweight cotton robe for summer.
As far as the size and length go, I'm 5'5'', 125 lbs. and the robe comes about halfway between my knees and ankles; that's plenty long enough for a spring/summer robe, IMO. I got the medium because the small was sold out and it's a bit large on me. I have to roll the sleeves up, but it's still wearable. I would recommend this to a friend with reservations.
