This set could have been GORGEOUS as depicted, but sadly, it was not! The pattern is only printed on ONE SIDE. For any standard pillow, the standard cases are 2 inches too wide and 3 inches too short. I compared the cases to other standard cases I had! So now I'm hesitant to buy anything else from this company, as well as any product touting Turkish cotton and/or sheets made in Pakistan! Before purchasing anything online, I usually read the reviews.... OK... I was rushing for a last-minute gift! Then there's the pilling, which is quite noticeable after the first wash! Clearly, many of us desired BETTER, so... back to the drawing board!
