Luxury item but highly recommended due to drain pockets & stylish look during mastectomy recovery.
I ordered this for my recovery after a bilateral mastectomy and am very pleased with it. All of the nurses in the hospital raved about how stylish and adorable I looked! I can wear this long after recovery so that helps ease the pain of the price tag. But for recovery, having pockets (two on each side) for the drain bulbs is almost priceless because they are such a nuisance. You can pin the bulbs to your clothing but it is so nice to just be able to slip them inside a pocket and forget about it. It also gives you quick & easy access to work the tubing frequently as ordered by the surgeon. The fabric is soft and drapes nicely. I'm a size 2, 116 lbs., & ordered a small. It fit but there was plenty of room, even when I cinched the ties tightly. I wish that extra small was an option.I have not worn the bra (velcro closure in front) that comes with the robe because I must have *a lot* of compression right now in order to be comfortable and this bra provides none. The fabric feels very soft, though, and I plan to wear it later. It seems like it would be a comfortable sleeping bra. It has pockets for ice packs that are available on The Brobe website. That seems like a really nice feature if you're able to wear it and I was disappointed that I couldn't.Overall, I do feel it is overpriced but I understand that it's a small company. That being said, the material is of good quality and it is well made so I don't feel that I was ripped off or anything. I would absolutely recommend it to others if it is within their budget.

You won't be disappointed !
Yes it's pricey, but you need this robe for healing, ease and comfort after your surgery. You won't regret this purchase. I had a double mastectomy a week ago and I've worn it everyday since. Washes well also. Comes with a bra that's way better than what you leave the hospital in. I usually wear a Large but ordered up to XL and glad I did. I wanted extra room and comfort so it's perfect for me. Love the pockets for the drains. Ease of wear, use, 100% recommend.

Comfortable, pockets are great, expensive
I bought this to wear after my double mastectomy. I get a lot of compliments on it, especially for the color which I chose because black want available for Prime delivery.Pros:Four internal pockets to hold your drain bags. These are great. End of story. I’ve worn other tips since and having to carry around the bags or pin them to you is annoying.Very comfortable and I don’t feel like I’m wearing a bathrobe because of the lovely details of the cut and the buttons.So soft and stretchy.Came with a bra in the same color. Fit me very well and has been good to help with compression.ConsIt’s expensive. I had points on my card, and I put them towards this to help.The material is great, but after only a few days, it got a hole in it. Not sure how. Possibly from the drains.The fabric is on the heavier side. Which is nice and all, but I found I couldn’t be comfortable in this unless it was mostly cool that day. This top plus hot flashes is rough.The bra is mostly great, however, the Velcro is awful. It’s super scratchy and the sharper side sticks to the lace and fabric of the bra. Mine got roughed up looking before I even got to try it on. Additionally, the bottom band sits right across my drain incisions and it’s been terribly painful. If the front buttoned it would be better so you can undo the last button. I’ve put a safety pin up it part way to leave it open and the relief was immediate. The open Velcro is quite scratchy, however.In all, I’m glad I got this. It could just use a few tweaks.

Worth the money because we are worth it!
My Aunt sent me a link to this robe and I was hesitant because of the price but once I received it I was very impressed by the stretchable soft fabric. I got black so no blood spill would get on it. I had a mastectomy on my left breast and I couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital robe and put this on. I didn’t need the bra that it came with but I loved the pockets to hold the drains and I wore it for 5 days straight. It was the perfect temperature and easy to sleep in. I am 5’9 and 126 pounds and I ordered a medium I could have fit in a small as the medium had a lot of room. If I were to order again I would get a small. I highly suggest this robe to make you feel a little bit put together during a very hard time. Way to go designer! I would like to see mother of pearl buttons or non contrasting buttons as I am not a fan of the coconut/wood buttons. I am a designer in the fashion industry so I am pretty picky to say the least. It’s a great purchase and I would buy it again if needed. I will be wearing it again on mastectomy number 2. I wish more people would put more thought into garments like this as we all need to feel good when going through a hard time like this. Thank you and great job.

This robe is a MUST for mastectomy recovery! Not only is it made very nicely, but the color is beautiful and it holds your drains securely in pockets inside. I like that my drain cords could hang naturally, but still be covered when I had my robe on. No need to coil them up. I plan to get a lot if use out of this robe even when my drains come out. The bra is also very well made and comfy! The bra actually fit BEFORE my mastectomy, but it will also be a nice soft bra to wear with my prosthetics as well.

Well Worth Buying - REALLY
Rating comment section did not allow me to fully praise The Brobe. My bilateral mastectomy drains were in for 9 days and I was in this robe the entire time (24/7 except for washings). I absolutely recommend this robe. You will not be disappointed. So comfortable and really did help to manage the drains. As for the sizing, I can only say that my body shape is somewhat short and heavy but the Brobe (2x) managed to do its job perfectly for me. The fabric is soft and stretchy but still holds its shape. I was also amazed at how it kept me comfortably warm, but never hot. My most heartfelt thanks to the people who came up with this robe. As for the price. $95 was a small price to pay in comparison to the quality and comfort that I have received from it. I look forward to wearing this robe for a long time, even without my drains!!!
