I gave this set 2 stars because it is beautiful, just the color I needed.  However, although it says they are washable, they are a mess when finished.  I asked the dry cleaner if they could do them; they would not.  I am trying to decide whether or not to send them back.  I probably will.  Their price tag is certainly not worth this.   I don't understand why, in this day and age, products like this are not made of permanent press fabric.  And EIGHT pillow cases - who needs eight of them.  I'd rather have better fabric.  The tags even say 'Laura Ashley.'  They are not beautiful on the bed as they are in the pictures.  Don't know why they got all the rave reviews.
