Women's Casual Bed Jacket with Velcro Openings - Soft & Comfortable Loungewear for Relaxing at Home, Nursing, or Post-Surgery Recovery

I purchased this for my husband's 101 year old grandmother who is currently is hospice care. The hospice prefers to keep her in a hospital gown or nightgown when she is in bed (I am guessing for hygiene reasons, it is easier to help her in the bathroom, etc.) But, she is always cold. My own grandmother always liked bed jackets when she was not feeling well, and I am glad I was able to find such a nice one on Amazon. This bed jacket is super soft and well made. The buttons are adorable, and they hide a velcro placket. The velcro closes securely. I ordered pink, and it is a soft, baby pink color as shown in the pictures. Like other reviewers mentioned, even though the fabric is super soft, it did have some shedding and lint. Because I didn't know what size Grandma needed, I ordered a large and extra large. I placed both jackets in the dryer individually, and I air fluffed them (only air, no heat) for 20 minutes each with a dryer sheet. This took care of the lint and fuzz without requiring me to wash the item when I knew I was going to return whichever jacket did not fit. As for sizing, I recommend ordering a size up. If you want the jacket to fit extremely close to the body or you are not going to wear anything underneath but the thinnest top or nightgown, go with your regular size. If you see how the jacket fits the model in the photos, that is how your regular size will fit - close to the body. I wear a medium or large in t-shirts, and the large was snug on me over a long sleeved tee. Grandma ended up with the XL even though she is not that big of a woman. I thought the looser fit looked more comfortable, and the nurses preferred a larger fit to make removing the jacket easier. Grandma loves the jacket, and she is now "very warm," even though she still sets her room thermostat to 80 degrees. I figure at 101, she is entitled to do what she wants. ;o)
