This is really nice and elegant but I unfortunately thought a coverlet was like a duvet cover.. its not... its a really thin almost see-through in some spots, fancy blanket. I washed and dried twice (lots of lint shedding in the dryer) but for the most part does not shed from your bed. I tried this on our bed a couple different ways, laying on top of our white duvet cover (looked good and fluffy) and also folded it to go across the foot of our king bed (ordered it in king size) It's a nice white color and I do use the king size pillow shams daily as decoration on the bed. I did see that this also comes in an actual duvet cover and Im disappointed in myself that I did't see that first. Overall its very nice and elegant looking. My husband uses it sometimes as a lightweight blanket with the sheet if he's too hot with the duvet/down comforter (we live in Florida and its HOT here)
