I searched high and low for the best robe that met my needs: I wanted it to feel glamorous, not have feathers or bits that would fall off, and not get in the way when I'm washing my hands/ doing household items like cooking or cleaning. This does it all! It feels very high quality and the construction is well thought-out and executed. The tie is attached so you don't have to worry about it getting lost. It is quite secure when you tie it and very flattering. For functionality, the sleeves feel dramatic and flirty but do not get in the way of living life AND the butterfly shape means there isn't fabric touching your armpits, so the garment also stays fresh for more days worn (sorry if that is gross.. it is true!). It is my favorite purchase so far this year and I highly, highly recommend!
