The fabric is nice and soft, but it did seem to shrink a little bit and fade a tad in the first washing. Also, the pattern on the king size runs side to side, not what is pictured. Was very disappointed with that! But it still looks pretty, just not exactly what I wanted. I do still love the pattern and the blues and gray.I really like this duvet cover and the matching set of sheets. My husband is a total picky pants and demands COTTON for our bedding over any cheap, synthetic alternatives. My kids jumped on my previous cotton sheet set one too many times, and they literally ripped in half. I panicked and decided to turn to Amazon for a suitable replacement for the sheets, and then I got to looking at the duvet cover set and just went for it. I have not been disappointed. These are so comfortable and the cover fits well with any standard duvet. I'm happy to report that this cover set is not scratchy at all.I am really happy with this duvet cover set. The first wash did not fade it in the least and the fabric came out of the dryer soft and lovely. The color is vibrant and rich, the pattern is really intricate and pretty. The seams are well done and the fabric used for the back of the duvet and pillows is a lovely shade of blue in an equal fabric quality. This set was a fantastic value.I bought this for my mother-in-law, who recently moved in with us. Blue is her favorite color, It'and she loves this set. It's beautiful to look at and has a very nice feel to the fabric. I highly recommend this product.Nice quality fabric ..am like the "princess and the pea"..need very smooth fabric next to my skin to be comfortable all night, and this is exactly what I wanted.
