After fitting and shipping millions of robes from our Orange County, California studio, here's how to get robe sizing right the first time.
How a robe should fit
A robe should close with generous overlap (not pull) and fall where you want coverage — knee, mid-calf, or ankle. It should feel relaxed across the shoulders, never tight.
The rule we tell every customer
If you're between sizes, buying as a gift, or want extra coziness, size up. A robe is meant to feel roomy. Check each product page for exact measurements.
Length
Shorter robes are easy for warm weather and getting ready; longer robes give more warmth and coverage.
FAQ
Should I size up in a robe? Yes, if between sizes or unsure — roomy is the goal.
How long should a robe be? Knee for light/warm, mid-calf or longer for coverage and warmth.
