Great out of the package but wrinkled out of the dryer....

The Pinzon 400-Thread-Count 100% Egyptian Cotton Hemstitch Duvet Set feels like heaven just out of the package. It reminds me of the type you see at 5-star hotels and the picture in the Amazon ad reinforces that layered design ideal.



But something changes when you launder this set. All of a sudden the softness is gone and the pieces become super wrinkled. This set needs to be ironed after being dried in an electric clothes dryer. (In the spring when I resume drying bedding on my outside clothes line; perhaps this duvet set will be wrinkle free and will not need to be ironed.)



A bit of trivia: some folks call it a duvet others call it a duvet cover. Even in this Amazon description the terms are used interchangeably. Not everyone understands the terms. This set includes a duvet (duvet cover) and two shams. The duvet (or duvet cover) is a large two-sided piece that has no filling. You can slip it over any blanket or comforter you already own. One side of the duvet (or duvet cover) has buttons so you can close it all in. The two shams that come with the king set are also king-sized and generous. The sham works the same way a pillowcase does; you slip it over your pillows.



While most people reading this review know what they are looking at; not everyone will.



All in all I don't think I can recommend this duvet set at the price listed. As another reviewer mentioned it's too high maintenance. After being laundered it's not nearly as soft as I wanted it to be and the wrinkles are a major disappointment.More detail ...
