When I first recieved my comforter set I was so excited to open it and launder it so I could put it on my bed! Right away after pulling it out of the bag I could tell this was not your average comforter; this was a very high quality comforter! I put it in the wash immediately! I was bummed at the fact I could not put it in my dryer because of how large and thick it is; that's okay i let it air dry! It did take a while to dry but when it was finally done I was so happy to make my bed; it looks like a comforter you would see in a magazine advertising a fancy five star hotel. It screams luxury! It is so well made and just absolutely beautiful!
