This velvet comforter set is very pretty.  I love the color as it is a deep rich true navy blue.  The comforter feels soft on top and on the bottom liner and its light weight.  I won't know how warm it will keep me until tonight. I have attached pictures of the line striations (texture) in the velvet top and the smooth soft back of the comforter.  I hope it will wash well in cold water when needed.  I like this item very much.
