Its beautiful lightweight fabric is perfect for the summer. The neutral pattern is light, elegant, and is easily matched with other colors, textures and patterns. My memory foam pillow has fabric that makes pillow cases slide around at night.  The shams with this set are really well made.  It took a minute to find the zipper to put them on, which is a fantastic design. The opening is at the end making them easy to put on. They fit really snug and the sham is so soft I am using them on my sleep pillows.
