So, I don't understand this robe, lol

.
I bought this off of eBay, for after-bath bc Marcel and Pfeiffer get so cold, even after their blow dry.
Does anyone else have this robe? The material is just plush, and the tie goes around the chest/belly. But those 'front flaps/pockets/arms' -- what the heck? Their arms can't go INSIDE the flaps, bc the flap
pockets are on the wrong side of the robe (the outside of it).
The flaps have no velcro/buttons to connect the flaps, for example, under the neck area (which might be cozy).
Never thought there would be a day where I couldn't understand a robe
