After reading reviews I took a chance and purchased the almond, king sheets. Really glad I did. They are not thick, thread count is good for me. They are so soft and comfortable to sleep with.  Love the lace, it is not what loses shape after washing, it's the stitching that puckers, but can be pressed. Not a problem for me. I washed the sheets on gentle cycle and dried on medium heat and they were fine. Love the color, feel, and lace. Overall, happy with purchase, great price too.
