This is my own fault, but I looked at several patterns of this set and they were listed as 100% cotton—so I assumed all were. I knew as soon as I took out the duvet that it was NOT cotton, it was 100% polyester! I will say the pattern is beautiful and seems well-printed, but I’m really disappointed in the fabric. Again, my own fault, so check the descriptions of each pattern if cotton feel is important to you.See full review
