I'm a little disappointed with the shrinkage.  I've washed it twice now and am careful about drying it all the way but it lost about a good inch both directions.  So if you have a high mattress and don't use a dust ruffle, you may want to consider ordering a king instead.  I didn't because it was my first time ever owning a Laura Ashley set and was hesitant because the shams would be too large for my pillows.  But the plus is it is extremely well made and the pattern is beautiful on the bed.  I ordered it in cream and it goes very well with my maple furniture.  It is a bit heavy for hot summer nights, but I find the cotton is much more comfortable for sleeping than a microfiber or cotton/poly mix.  I'm trying to stick to more organic fabrics and this is almost 100% cotton, inside and out.  There's a bit of poly in the filling but I think it's less than 10%.  I have no regrets really.
