The picture looked exactly like what I was looking for and when I placed it on my bed it was PERFECT! It's soft and delicate, sweet and girlie! I wanted to create a comforting, inviting retreat for myself and this comforter does just that! It's not the kind of comforter you'd actually use to cover up with, obviously. You can use any old comforter for that. This is pure show!!! Everyone loves it and can't believe I spent less than $200.00 for it. I would have easily paid $500.00 or more. It's that beautiful. I got it in cream and it goes great with my dark furniture. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!
