This dressing gown is so soft, I am a size 12 to 14 so I bought a medium I probably could have had small but I like my dressing gowns on the bigger side so it's perfect the colour is lovely. Its a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. I have only worn it twice so have not washed it yet so am unable to comment on how it looks after a wash or if it holds it's size and shape but I am confident it will be ok, I have never had a problem with nexts quality in all the years I have shopped with the company.
