     (1) Field of the Invention 
     (2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98 
     The disclosure and prior art relates to dressing devices and more particularly pertains to a new dressing device for PURPOSE. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a pillow case that has an open end. A pillow is provided and the pillow is selectively positioned within the pillow case. A panel is provided and the panel is selectively manipulated. The pillow is selectively positioned on the panel and the panel is selectively urged into the open end of the pillow case. In this way the pillow is selectively positioned within the pillow case. The panel is removed from the pillow case when the pillow is positioned within the pillow case. 
     There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. 
     The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. 
    
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S) 
       The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein: 
         FIG. 1  is a top perspective view of a panel of a pillow dressing system according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 2  is a bottom view of a panel of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 3  is a top view of a panel of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 4  is a front view of a panel of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         FIG. 5  is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new dressing device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the pillow dressing system  10  generally comprises a pillow case  12  that has an open end  14  and a pillow  16  that is selectively positioned within the pillow case  12 . The pillow case  12  may be a pillow case  12  of any conventional design and the pillow  16  may be a pillow  16  of any conventional design. Moreover, each of the pillow case  12  and the pillow  16  may be positioned on a bed or the like for sleeping. 
     A panel  18  is provided and the panel  18  is selectively manipulated. The pillow  16  is selectively positioned on the panel  18  and the panel  18  is selectively urged into the open end  14  of the pillow case  12 . In this way the pillow  16  is positioned within the pillow case  12 . The panel  18  is comprised of a resiliently flexible material. Moreover, the panel  18  inhibits the pillow case  12  from deforming the pillow  16  when the pillow  16  is inserted into the pillow case  12 . In this way the panel  18  enhances positioning the pillow  16  in the pillow case  12 . The panel  18  is removed from the pillow case  12  when the pillow  16  is positioned within the pillow case  12 . 
     The panel  18  has a first surface  20 , a second surface  22  and a peripheral edge  24  extending therebetween. The peripheral edge  24  has a first lateral side  26 , a second lateral side  28 , a front side  30  and a back side  32 . The panel  18  has a first curl  34  extending between the front side  30  and the back side  32  and the first curl  34  is spaced from the first lateral side  26 . In this way the first lateral side  26  is directed downwardly toward the first surface  20 . The panel  18  has a second curl  38  extending between the front side  30  and the back side  32  and the second curl  38  is spaced from the second lateral side  28 . In this way the second lateral side  28  is directed downwardly toward the first surface  20 . The pillow  16  is selectively positioned on the first surface  20  such that each of the first curl  34  and the second curl  38  inhibits the pillow  16  from sliding laterally off of the panel  18 . 
     A first opening  40  extends through the first surface  20  and the second surface  22  of the panel  18  to define a first handle  42  and the first handle  42  is selectively gripped. The first handle  42  is positioned closer to the front side  30  than the back side  32 . A second opening  46  extends through the second surface  22  and the second surface  22  of the panel  18  to define a second handle  48  and the second handle  48  is selectively gripped. The second handle  48  is positioned closer to the back side  32  than the front side  30 . 
     In use, the pillow  16  is positioned on the top surface of the panel  18 . The panel  18  is manipulated to urge a selected one of the front side  30  and the back side  32  of the panel  18  into the open end  14  of the pillow case  12 . Moreover, the panel  18  is fully inserted into the pillow case  12  thereby facilitating the pillow  16  to be fully inserted into the pillow case  12 . Each of the first curl  34  and the second curl  38  engage opposite sides of the pillow case  12  when the panel  18  is inserted into the pillow case  12 . In this way the pillow case  12  is inhibited from deforming the pillow  16  when the pillow  16  is inserted into the pillow case  12 . The panel  18  is urged outwardly from the pillow case  12  and the pillow  16  is gripped to retain the pillow  16  in the pillow case  12 . 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
