This bedding set is stunning. We bought it yesterday. I've been thinking about trying it in our bedroom for quite some time. The colors are pretty and embroidery is very romantic. We bought orange sheets to go with it, because my husband really loves orange. I love the color of the bedskirt, and the orange ribbon detail on the comforter and pillow shams.
The downfalls: This morning my husband woke up and said the comforter is very warm. Pretty much, it is too warm for him. He's a warm sleeper. I love it because I am a cold sleeper. He woke up sweating! The material that holds the bedskirt under the mattress is very cheap looking and feeling. It's possible that it could rip while we do "mattress flipping". I've purchased other BH&G bedding sets, and that material in that part of the set was better quality in the other sets. Another MAJOR downfall is that if you do any sitting on the comforter the embroidery does come apart. It's even worse if you have kids that like to sit on the bed with you. My five year old has already loosened up a lot of the threads. Remember, we just bought this set yesterday!
If I were a single woman with no husband, kids, or animals...I would keep it. It's perfect for me. Although, I haven't washed it yet. If I did wash it, it would probably loosen up the embroidery threads pretty bad. It would have to go in a really large machine on a very gentle cycle...or be washed by hand in the tub and line dried.
I'm sad that it's going back. I really think it's beautiful.
