An elegant robe
There are not too many garments available to an 83 year old woman that would truly lift her spirits. The robe speaks to me of traditional Japanese design as do the colors. I see that there was a great deal of thought expressed in the placement of the design in the cloth so that it would be shown to the best advantage in the style of the robe. The fabric is a perfect choice, rather than cotton for this elegant robe! I am grateful that Novica is nurturing these wonderful artists because such uniqueness is not to be found elsewhere!

Makes me feel beautiful
I bought this as a wedding shower gift. After I received it, I opened it, and tried it on. It was beautiful and well made, I immediatly fell in love with it. It fit so nice on me, I was concerned that it would be too large and long for the bride to be. She is 5' 3" and average weight and I am 5'7" older and wear plus sizes. When she opened the gift, she immediatly tried it on and it fit perfectly. Everyone loved it. How it can fit everyone is still a mystery to me, but now I'm buying another one for me. Plus, it shipped fast. I got it in a few days.

Like wearing a Klimt painting
I forget how many of these 100 percent cotton robes I have obtained for myself and for gifts in recent years. The fabric patterns are all gorgeous, but I am partial to this cool, dreamy, sea-glass colored blue green design. It reminds me of a Gustav Klimt painting. I sew; garment construction is excellent. I wash in cold water then hang on a hanger to dry naturally. I have not had any of these robes bleed or fade. None have even worn out; though I live in them around my home. But I have quite a few so I rotate them! :)
