I was a bit disappointed when I saw the blanket at first.  It didn't fit end to end on my full bed and the weave was not as tightly woven as I had hoped.  When I tried it on my bed I could easily stretch the material to complete cover my mattress.  Again I thought the very open we fit g wouldn't hold in enough warmth, but once again I was proven wrong. This blanket actually retains my body warmth without over heating you  like many blankets do,   This very pretty blanket is a very good buy and I'm more than pleased it turned out do well.  The soft shade of pink is lovely also.
