Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Wicked Plush Robe

I absolutely love this robe but I'm frustrated with the sizing. I have a small and a medium in the same rib in different colors. Both of those are larger than the new medium I ordered.

Sooo cozy! I take a medium and would like just a bit more material to "wrap." Love the hood and can't take it off!

This robe is SO soft and very cozy. It really is wicked plush! Howeverbe warned that you cannot put it in the dryer. The instructions are machine wash and dry flat! It takes forever to dry and is quite a lot of fabric to find room in the house to dry it flat. My husband has the men's version of this robe and attempted to tumble dry on low, and his robe was ruined. It pilled the fabric and now sheds fuzz on everything. Do I love this robe? Yes. Would I have purchased it knowing that it couldn't go in the dryer? Probably not. I would have stuck with flannel. Also, I thought the fit would be a little more oversized than it is. I'm 5'6 and 160 lbs. I typically fit comfortably in a medium. This doesn't wrap around me with a ton of overlap like I would expect from a robe of this style.

Love the feel and warmth this robe provides. I am struggling with the sleeves however, I have to remove the robe to work at kitchen sink. Even cuffed.

Pros: Beautifully made, perfect fit, soft and cozy. Cons: No where near as warm as I expected (which was the reason for the purchase). I understood this robe would keep me warm in the coldest of winters. Not so much even for a warm winter.

Very soft, but runs small. So size up from what you usually wear

We keep our house on the cool side during winter heating of 68 to 70 F. Wife likes to wrap up in it to keep her legs and head comfy.

A super thoughtful Christmas gift from my husband. This robe is incredibly soft, warm and cozy! The fit is slightly undersized compared to another LLB fleece robe of the same size. This feels a tad smaller and shorter. Having long arms, I wish the sleeves were a little longer too, but they can be rolled down for extra length. As a couple of reviewers have commented, the weight of the hood makes the top of the robe open up at the neck and the material for wrapping across the body could be more generous. I'd suggest sizing up for this reason. Personally, I also prefer the zip style robe, so this review is slightly biased for that reason. I'm tempted to add a couple of buttons or snaps to keep things in place.

Very soft and warm! Good quality. Nice Christmas gift.

Very soft and warm. I went 1 size up to have more cross over in the front. One change I would have liked is a full length to keep my legs warmer.

The fabric is perfect: soft and cozy. I love the sleeve length and option to fold up or leave down. Robe length and pockets are a wonderful . HOWEVER, the hood is a real negative. I know others like it but I find the weight of the hood causes the top front of the robe to constantly separate and slide open. A real nuisance to have to keep pulling the upper robe closed. The warmth of this particular fleece is lovely but I will likely alter the robe to ditch the hood. Wish LL Bean would make a hood-less version.

Fits pretty much true to size. Very soft, warm and cuddly. The color was disappointing. I thought it was dark red from the photo but it is really reddish brown. The hood is ok. It's uncomfortable when sitting in a high back chair such as a recliner because it bunched at the neck if you don't have it up. It is nice and heavy if that's what you are looking for.

This is a nice robe. But it was too open at the neckline. I fixed the problem by sewing on a large snap close to the collar/hood.

Purchased the robe for a Christmas present and have little doubt it will be a big hit. Excellent customer service was nice to have with a bit of a glitch in the online purchase system.

This is a nice looking robe with the contrasting white sherpa hood lining and cuffs. It's a pretty good fit. Hopefully, the blanket fleece fabric, which I thought would be a bit thicker, will be warm on a really cold day. The reason the robe did not get a better rating is because of the care required. The garment care tag instructs: "tumble dry no heat." I washed it on a relatively mild day and put it in the dryer on the fluff dry setting -- tumble dry no heat. After two hours, the robe was still quite damp. (I don't know how wet it would have still been on a really cold day.) So, I draped it across a drying rack to completely dry it. It was finally dry after almost two days. Maybe it would have dried on the rack sooner if the heat had been on. However, if I had known how difficult it is to dry this robe, I don't know if I would have bought it.

This is a soft robe that will be great in cold weather. If it were full length, it would have gotten 5 stars. The mid-calf length will not provide the warmth needed in winter. The hood is a bonus on colder mornings when taking out the dog! I wear size 6-8 and the medium was a good fit.

This is a super soft and warm winter robe which fits all my wishes with one exception. The inside tie and the outside belt keep it wrapped around me comfortable, however without a fastener are the neck that area is left to naturally to fall open exposing the upper front chest and neck areas. I think it could be improved with a fastener such as a large snap or button to secure it shut.. This would also make the hood stay in place better. Thankfully I sew so I can make this small alteration easily. However, this would not be a dealbreaker for me. It is just the ticket to come home to after a winter day and cuddle up into its comfy warmth. I ordered a 3X for extra room; usually would take a 2X, but I would say that it is true to size. I am pleased with the 3X long.

My husband got this Robe for me last Christmas. Loved it so much, I got another one for my birthday!

Bought the ledge and love the color. The robe is plush & cozy & plush. The arms are short if you fold them up as shown in the picture but good length if left unfolded, you just don't get the white cuff showing

She liked embroidered garment, but she insisted it must be washed BEFORE her first use. Since it has been handled extensively. Doesw a machine do these embrideries or a human? As far as quality it is top shelf. Purchased Large Your form ASKS too many quationof Bust size , she normally 8-10 and 5'7" lady Purchased Orchid/White plush Robe

Did not use much as it is too heavy for the past winter we had. Maybe can use next winter.

I saw this robe and fell in love. It is so very soft with the cozy lining. Beautiful fleece with a gorgeous color and incredibly soft feel. Once I wore it, I discovered it was WAY too heavy and warm for me.

Very comfortable. Fluffy and very warm. Just wish it was a little bigger.

I love this robe and wear it daily during the cooler months. I like the vibrancy of the color and that it does not shed in the dryer. I am not a fan of the sherpa cuffs and hood lining because the sherpa starts to look ratty after washing. I would have much preferred the cream contrast to be fleece instead because it would hold up much better. I am normally a size XS in LLBean, though size Small in other stores, and bought the robe in S, perfect fit!

Very warm. Comfortable. Hunted everywhere for a thick, warm, easyv to slip on robe. This is it.
