I do NOT recommend this comforter set! 

I am very disappointed with my purchase. The stitching is very poor. There are SO MANY loose threads, some of which are trapped between pieces of fabric so they cannot be removed. The shams look horrible because the loose dark blue threads show through the white fabric, but the space between the fabric is completely sealed off so you cannot remove the loose threads. 

I was definitely deceived by the beautiful picture, so please beware of the poor quality!!
