Pros: Nice Thread Count, Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Luxurious, Silky
Best Uses: Formal Beds, Guest Bedding, Everyday Bedding
Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper
This was a very nice sheet set, I am very picky about sheets. I am an Interior Decorator, so having the right quality item is important to me in every design. This set is beautiful, washes wonderfully, and even though it wrinkles some, most come out of the sheets once on the bed. There is a subtle sheen to the sheets and this makes them a beautiful compliment to the bedding. My only problem with this purchase was that I received a torn package, and they sent the wrong color! To make matters worse, I received two different color pillow cases. Brylane Home, understand that we are purchasing products from you sight unseen and rely on the pictures you provide to help us choose colors. When you send the wrong thing, or an obviously damaged return out to another customer, it is a major inconvenience to have to pack and re ship back to you.

My Review of Floral Print Cotton Bigshirt

Originally submitted at OneStopPlus













Feminine florals lend a spring-fresh air to our classic plus size big shirt. Cotton. Machine wash. Imported.
  • Button front shirt
  • Soft collar
  • Shirttail hem
  • ¾ sleeves with button tabs
  • About 32” from shoulder to hem



Be prepared...

Pros: Nice Length
Cons: Wrinkles BADLY
Best Uses: Casual
This shirt was a nice length but after laundering it was extremely wrinkled so be prepared to iron it every time you launder. Also, it does seem to shrink some so if length is an issue, consider what starts out being 32 inches in length may end up only 30 when washed and dried.

Pros: Attractive Design
Cons: Lightweight thin, Poor Fabric Quality
Best Uses: Decoration, Warm Climate
Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper
 I got this comforter after reading great reviews, however, the comforter is very flimsy and light weight, and riddled with wrinkles. It fit my big King sized thick mattress but it is not the quality one might assume. The embroidery is lovely, and the color is similar to the picture. I am currently giving the set a wash and hope that it holds up on the gentle cycle and some of the wrinkles go away when I tumble it on low heat in dryer.

Bottom line: This set is on sale currently on Brylane home for around $120.00 for the King sized set. That being said, it is really lightweight and probably best for a guest room and not as a main comforter in a master. For limited use it should hold up, under daily use, you may find it is just too flimsy.
