I was looking for something beautifully old fashioned & girly for our guest room, nothing with a sheen, and this set is exactly what I wanted. Even my husband, who usually pays no attention to things like this, said it was really pretty and perfect for the bed I bought. I bought a full size bed & was worried the queen set would be too big, but the comforter fits perfectly. The dust ruffle was big, but I was able to make it fit by by folding it & tacking it up a little. The pillows that come with it are  just so pretty & I love that it came with 4 shams. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Now if I could just find that basket of flowers they show in the picture........
