The duvet is very pretty. However, the description says machine washable. I followed instructions but even with a heavy duty washer/dryer it took 2 cycles for spin cycle (no big deal). But 3 cycles for dryer and all of the inner lining is still clumped up, damp and very heavy. I may use duvet again just for looking at, but if family is staying here in guest bedroom, , I will put it away so I don’t have to wash again.
