This pattern is beautiful, the quality, not so much. I have washed and dried this sheet 5 times hoping it would soften. No such luck. It still feels like a tarpaulin. Save yourself some money and aggravation and pick up a fitted bottom sheet at Walmart for $5.99. It’s my own fault for not paying attention to the thread count. I didn’t realize they still produced sheets with this low a thread count and cardboard feel.
