My old bathrobe was terry cloth. Stiff after every wash, scratchy at the collar, the kind you keep because it is there, not because you like it.

This one is plush fleece on both sides, soft and fluffy, and it does not itch anywhere, not at the neck, not at the wrists. One customer wrote that she literally sleeps in it or uses it as a blanket. Another one said she has not taken it off since it came. I understand both of them now.

Here is what October mornings look like at my house. The kitchen is 61 degrees until the sun comes around. I used to make coffee wrapped in a blanket, holding it closed with one hand.

Now I pull the hood up, the little bear ears and all, tie the belt, and I am warm from my head to my ankles. It falls below the knee, the sleeves go all the way to the wrist, and the belt keeps the heat in. The space heater under my desk has not been on once this year.

A robe without pockets is a blanket with sleeves. This one has 2 deep pockets, one on each hip, and they hold my phone, my reading glasses and a tissue without anything falling out when I sit down.

The sleeves roll up and stay up, so I can do the dishes or wash my face without soaking the cuffs. One customer said exactly that: some robes are too long and wide and the sleeves never stay up. These do.

I am a size 18. Most robes either pull across the chest or hang like a tent. This one wraps, and you tie it exactly where you want it, so it sits right on every figure.

One customer put it best: she is about 215 pounds, got the L-XL, and it is not snug, it wraps around her body to her liking. It runs true to size for most women. If you like extra snuggle room, or you have a fuller bust, go one size up.

Two robes, 2 prints. The pink for you and the leopard for your daughter, or one that stays on the bathroom hook and one that lives on the couch. Every order comes with easy returns, no questions asked.

The leopard goes first every year. If your size is still in stock, I would not sit on it.
