I live in sunny SoCal and wanted a lightweight kimono that I will wear year round as a jacket. The side pockets are on the seam. Overall, it is well made and the colorful fabric is beautiful. My kimono is a lg/xl and it fits a little on the loose side but that is what I wanted. If you are a size 16 -18, you might want to size down. I did machine wash with cold water with no shrinksge. I bought both color options available and I am very pleased. Perfect gift for me and for a friend.Beautiful! The crafting is superb, colors vibrant and crisp. Deep side pockets ? Slightly longer than anticipated, not a bad thing. I'm 5'10" and 140lbs, with a 36 DDD bra size, this is a S/M and there is plenty of room for the 'girls' with enough coverage that I don't feel like I could have a wardrobe malfunction even without a bra. The finish edges are double-stitched French seams which should make this last for a very long time. There is also an intentional small hole where the sleeve and sideseam come together for ventilation. I had never seen that before, but it works really well at allowing the air to flow through the garment, and not blow up like a sail... especially nice when riding a bicycle. Would make a lovely gift, but I'm keeping this one ?Update:So impressed with this wrap! Ordered one for each of my friends... Cheers!I purposefully got a larger size because I like more voluminous clothes, and it worked out perfectly! The colors are incredible and vibrant, and the cloth itself is cool and comfortable, which is perfect for the Arizona heat. It also has pockets, which is amazing. I'm thrilled with it!Nice and lightweight, well made, I’ll be using this for YEARS! Love the print, I wear size 14-16 and it fits perfectly.Absolutely beautiful in person and very well made. Exactly what I wanted and extremely happy I ordered it!Great color and style, well made.I was so excited to purchase this robe. The pattern is beautiful and so was the extra 75% off. The description stated it was new, but I received the robe in a plastic zip-lock type of bag. It didn't have the authentication card. That doesn't take away from how nice this is.
