The material is almost silky. Very soft to the touch, which Ive actually never had in a bedskirt. The size is great for my 14 platform frame it hits the floor just right and falls in the pleated pattern as pictured.  Its pretty wrinkly just out of the package but Im pretty sure a good dousing of wrinkle releaser and a bit of steaming love will have them falling out in no time. So far, Im very pleased!
