Alexander Del Rossa Women's Zip Up Fleece Robe, Soft Warm Plush Oversized Zipper Bathrobe

In looking for a new bathrobe I wanted fleece, easy opening, and some color. After reading the reviews for this product I chose it. According to the reviews the bathrobe runs really big, but none of the descriptions made by other reviewers answered my concerns. So I am writing this review with the hope that I can help others make a decision about the size of the bathrobe.All the current reviews state that the bathrobe is really big, so size down. I normally wear a 1 or 2X in nightgowns so the question was how to size down. On the order page the sizes are listed as S,M,L,LXL,1X/2X and L/XL. I could not find a single description of the difference between a LXL versus a L/XL. I am 5'7", and weigh about 230. I wear an XL in knit tops, a 2X in most tops made of woven fabric, and a size 22 in pants. The circumference of my arms and legs is about the same as when I was 20. (I am now 70.) So all my extra weight is in my middle. Also, I have relatively short legs so a lot of size 22 pants or skirts have to be hemmed. With a great deal of trepidation I ordered a LXL. It fits perfectly. The sleeves don't need to be rolled up and the hem is at my ankles. It fits satisfactorily across my middle. There is no tugging anywhere. I hope this review will help women of size make a decision about what size to purchase. I gave the review 4 stars instead of 5 because the indicated sizing was unclear.

After MUCH research for a decent priced warm, quality robe I found this one. I think I read near every review, which is what sold me. Very few said anything negative OTHER THEN the sizing issue. So... against my inner voice, I ordered a size DOWN. (I really wanted a loose/comfortable fit.) I am 5'5 185 lbs. and a 2X all day long but after reading all of the very helpful reviews, I ordered a L/XL in the beautiful "ocean" color and it is PERFECT!! Very roomy, enough to wear cozy pj's under with some room to spare. (But not huge) I couldn't have asked for a better fit. That said, if I would have ordered my size I'd be very unhappy and shipping it back... cant imagine how huge a 2x must be!So PLEASE ladies... take all of our good advice and order down a size. (Maybe ever two sizes if you dont want extra room.)Other then sizing, it's a very soft, thick and long robe. (Down to my ankles) And the arms are quite long as well. If you live in a cold state, it will be perfect for you, but not so much if you live in Texas!*UPDATE* One year later and this is still my favorite robe! 11-2017

Bought this for my wife. Looked great in the package, put it in the wash, dryer, then bam, instant regret. There was lint from it all over. I was embarrassed I bought it for her. Too much for a lint roller so I spent about 20 minutes picking the lint off by hand. It was still shedding lint all over everything. Washed it again. Same thing, but a little bit less lint. After the second wash/hand lint picking I decided to take a picture of all the lint I picked off, as you can see, it was quite a bit.My wife says it is warm and comfortable, however I won't be buying another.

UPDATE: PLEASE SEE A PICTURE I ADDED. I TOOK THEIR PICTURE AND MARKED ALL THE THINGS i LOVE ABOUT IT SO IT IS EASY TO SEE AT A GLANCE.Yes, you can totally look like the lady in the picture but it takes a little work to figure out your size and understand what you are buying. I was reading the many reviews complaining about the robe being too big or too small here and there but they also show that most people do not get the style or fit of this robe.1. UNDERSTAND THE FIT!What it definitely is NOT:My robe fits JUST like the lady in the picture, but pay attention! It is NOT a form fitted robe, it has a generous extra room in the torso, belly area and the sleeves are bit loose so if you are looking for snug fitted robe, this is not your thing.What it definitely IS:This is a wonderful home robe, kind of like a home jacket if you will. PERFECT to put it over your long sleeve shirt without making your arms suffocating, and without hugging your breasts and belly making you look like a sausage.It fits perfect with all that air and the room letting you move easily, your arms, your body, it has enough fabricthat if you unzip it you can wrap yourself x if you choose so.IT is LONG. if you don't like long things then look elsewhere because it comes with zipper so hamming would be messy at the minimum.Why long is good? Because this is what a perfect cold season robe does, it covers you all the way keeping your all legs toasty and cozy.Why loose sleeves are perfect? Because this just right amount of the extra room makes for prefect outer layer that leaves bit room and air and will not make you sweat. Air is good.2. UNDERSTAND THE SIZING...Their sizing is right, but you need to consider the fit and then and only then it makes sense... becausethose who are looking for tight fit in their size won't find it adequate. Let me compare itto the Target sizes that I am familiar with:This Robe sizes compared to the Target sizes as I see them:Small/Medium: Will fit Chests 32-38 inches, Robe length 46 inches = TARGET's Large roomyLarge/XL: Will fit Chests 40-44 inches, Robe length 48 inches = TARGET XXL roomy1X/2X: Will fit Chests 46-50 inches, Robe length 50 inches = TARGET XXXL roomy3X-4X: Will fit Chests 52-58 inches, Robe length 52 inches= Goes beyond my known Target sizingBasically remember that this robe will fit you nicely in the arm and neck area and then it will be roomyeverywhere else and long which is what most people look for in the winter overcoats for home.Flexibility of movement and beautiful overall fit.I normally wear L in Target clothing and I got this in size L that made me feel like I am wearinggreat fitting loose home comfy piece that would equal to Target's XXL which I would definitely gofor my Bathrobe or even a roomier winter jacket for outside if I wanted extra room for sweater in it.Overall GORGEOUS home robe that I have been looking for a very long time.My Pink robe comes with the white Sherpa detailing on the sleeves and the collar but it is alsolined with white cozy fleece all the way inside.I need something to feel beautiful at home in. This fits the bill. It is ideal for watching TV, for working on the computer, for making breakfast for the family, for playing games with kids, for cuddling with hubby.I can wear it zipped, I can wear it completly unzipped or I can wear it unzipped and wrapped loosely x style.I love everything about it. It is not often that you can find a piece that will make you look exactly like a model in the picture, this one does.I love the zipper as opposed to buttons or Velcro as this is so easy to zip up and ready to go..The gorgeous white collar.. if you open it and flip the sides it makes a long V shape and it looks dreamy too.I love everything about it and hope this will help you to find your perfect fit as I almost bought too big size for myself following some misleading sizing guide left by some reviewers who think of it as a fitted dress rather then the overcoat.

This is a SMALL!!!I am 5’10 175# 40” chest 42” hips and this fits me with “so much room for activities!”LOLThe chest would easily fit 50” chest!I ordered small due to the other reviews and because it was the only size besides XXXL in this color. So glad I ordered a small!!! It fits so nicely for a lounger. I ALWAYS wear L-XL in female sizes depending on designer. This fits like Large if not XL!This photo is the rob zipped laying on a full size bed for reference.

The robe is lovely and soft, the style I want, and a pretty colour, but it is much too big even after ordering a size smaller than I usually wear. I am trying to return it before I order an other one in an even smaller size but the details on the return forms do not appear when the forms are printed making it impossible to return! This is incredibly frustrating and I am unable to solve this problem and cannot manage to connect to a human being in customer service.

I am thrilled to finally find a zipped up housecoat. It is very warm and cozy. I like a housecoat to fit on the loose side rather than snugly.. I bought the 3-4X and normally wear 3X, this fits perfectly. I do fold the sleeves up when I’m doing any tasks.

Another user had the same experience so I wanted to clarify. The model exhibited here is A0258 but they send model A0304 which is open and without sash. The quality of the material is good and it looks amazing but it's extremely disappointing and upsetting to receive an open robe with no sash on sight to close it while you were expecting a CLOSED robe. If you want to see what you'll receive check my photo. Btw, this is a women model and my husband is wearing it comfortably. And this one doesn't seem to be that huge as the other reviews say.

bought this robe to wear over my PJs. It is very warm and the colour ( purple) looks quite rich. It fits well and I just love the zippered front closing. Great to wear in the winter. Product is exactly what the write up said it would be. I love it.

I like a really long robe, with very long sleeves, and this fit the bill. I am 5'6" and usually size 12-14. The reviews said this runs large, so I bought a S/M and it fits perfectly. It is cozy without being too heavy. Great robe.
