The waffle fabric actually doesn't absorb at all and its uncomfortable to wear, so as a robe---its completely pointless. The shower curtain is ok, but boring.

The shower curtain is very nice. I love that waffle texture. The robe wasn't really needed so I didn't really care, but it seriously shrunk in the washer (didn't dry it). I have a feeling that the shower curtain will do the same once it is washed. I would buy it again.

This is the perfect shower curtain when you don't really want the look of a shower curtain. It was for a small bathroom and needed to be understated. The elegant texture and the soft white color work well together. The robe was a nice bonus. We washed it and hang it in the guest bath for guests since we didn't really need a robe. The robe did wrinkle/shrink significantly after it was washed and dryed (we suspected that, though, based on the fabric it is made of. ) It is really no problem for the robe, but I suspect the shower curtain will also wrinkle and shrink when washed. We just hung up the curtain without washing it for now, but when we do wash it, we may hang it to dry rather than putting it in the dryer and see if that prevents some of the shrinking and wrinkling.

the shower curtain was a suprise I really did not think that the bath robe that came with the purchase would be worth much ,but I love it .
