At first I wasn’t too excited with the pillowcases I received, as they didn’t feel very soft like I was hoping. However they are a pretty bright yellow color that matches my sheets well. I have now washed them 3-4 times and they have actually held up very well. They have retained their color much better than I expected and are still pretty soft as when received, unlike other pillowcases and sheets that get that itchy consistency after a few washes. Nothing too fancy but overall a decent pair of pillowcases!
