English Rose Matelasse Coverlet or Sham

I had been wanting a Matelasse coverlet for some time but couldn't find one for what I consider a good price. Thanks to Amazon.com, I got what I had been wanting for a great price! The size is perfect. It's a nice light weight for summer. Haven't washed it yet, so I can't say how well it will wash, but I don't expect any problems.

This is one of the prettiest spreads I have ever owned. I was afraid to buy because it was so inexpensive but it is absolutely beautiful. I got a king for a Q bed and it fits like a spread all the way down on each side and I have a very tall bed. The pattern is so pretty and fabric is med weight. I recommend this to any one!

I ordered a pair of twin coverlets and matching shams. They looked beautiful, but did not reach far enough on either side of the mattress to reach the top of the box springs, thus showing the blanket. Not pretty. I measured them and, sure enough, they were 58" wide instead of the advertised 63" wide and they were 82" long instead of the advertised 88" long. Very disappointing.

Since I have a queen sized mattress with a giant pillowtop mattress I need a king size coverlet to fall long enough to cover the mattress and springs. And I wanted a good quality matelasse to replace the one that I had. This coverlet is made in Portugal, not China and is quality construction. The pattern is subtle and pleasing and the ivory is a true ivory and not too yellow. I was concerned that the price being so low for this product would indicate skimpy fabric or uneven stitches. Not so! This is as pretty as the Peacock Alley coverlet that I had that was 3 times the price. Highly recommended and I'm very glad to have found this on Amazon.

Addendum: I washed the coverlet and dried it in the dryer on medium. It SHRUNK. So beware. It is now about the size of a regular queen size coverlet. I just can't put anything on my bed that hasn't been washed. Maybe line drying would have been ok.

The first coverlet was purchased in a full/queen size for a queen size sleigh bed. It shrank quite a bit in the cold-water wash and low tumble dry, and would no longer cover the bed sideways. I returned it for a king size. The color is a classic linen parchment, more an ecru than an ivory, and quite pleasing in quality and design with its scalloped edges. This coverlet also shrank, this time more notably from top to bottom. The sides are long enough as the King size compensates for sideways shrinkage and it is on a queen bed, but that doesn't help much for lengthwise shrinkage. I recommend purchasing a size larger and don't count on using it as a bed spread due to shrinkage issues. It is lovely for layering purposes.
