This is so pretty! It's the perfect shade of off white. It's super soft. I rinsed it in the washer and put it in the dryer on tumble dry cycle to fluff it up then let it air dry. These pictures really show how pretty the detail of the coverlet is. I don't use the pillow shams that came with it, but they're just as pretty too! Found the gray/yellow pillow covers in these pics at a thrift store. I think they're just great. I am so pleased how it all turned out so nicely!
