First this set is really off white, not cream or ivory as stated in  listing. Of course I wanted cream or ivory and this was neither. It came with small dirt marks on it by the stitching. To make matters worse after I ordered it I found it  on another site for less money. Ok about the set. It is soft to sleep under. It is nicely light weight but still cozy and will work  well for either summer or winter as I am a hot sleeper. It looks better on the site than in real life and for the life of me I do not see the sheen people mentioned in other reviews. I was looking for something with a silky feel like my last quilt. This is soft but not silky. I am keeping it as I can't seem to find what I am looking for that is in stock anywhere. It is just OK.
