Does anyone own this West Elm Duvet cover?

[fryjack2]

I love this one and bought it a couple days ago.  H threw it into a ball into the laundry hamper before I could see what it looked like on our bed. I pulled it out and its super wrinkled and doesn't really look pintucked.  Now I'm worried that when I wash it, it will look like one bug wrinkled mess and I have no idea how to iron it so that the pintucks stay intact. 

I know its a long shot, but anyone have this?

I just have the pillow shams but they wash really well, and look good when dried. I never iron anything.

I have one, but not that one. I don't iron it. In fact, the beauty of this style is that it looks naturally wrinkly lol

I don't have it, but it looks cool!

I had it in a pale blue gray color. I could only handle it for six months or so. It always looked a mess after I cleaned it. I never put any effort into ironing it, because that is beyond my scope of household capabilities.

Thats my worry : ( Did it look like a wrinkled mess or just not neatly tucked?

I had it and got rid of it. Hated it. It was always wrinkly looking (I do not iron bedding. No way, no how) and the pintucks were constantly ripping. After a year of DH and Cats ripping into it, it looked like shit.

ETA: the pillow shams held up really well, so those are fine, but the duvet didn't do so well.

Of course H also threw out all the packaging (thinking he was being helpful) so I can't return it. Ugh.

I was just watching a House Hunters: Where Are They Now? and this duvet was in their master bedroom. Now that I typed this, I realize it is completely off topic. Carry on.

I have it in the natural color and I love it. I wash it once a month with hot water on the delicate cycle, then dry on medium heat and take it out as soon as it's done and smooth it over the bed to cool so it's not all wrinkled. It doesn't look exactly like the photo- I feel like that photo makes the fabric look a little thicker, but it's a nice, light, airy cotton- but it definitely doesn't seem messy. My regular insert is a little bigger than the cover itself and I feel like it helps it look a little fuller.

I have that duvet and pillow covers; I've never had a problem with it. I wash and dry it on the delicate cycles. I've never had to iron it and think it looks fine.

Ohhh it's so pretty! I always admire the bravery of people who have all white bedding.

I have it and have washed it. I didn't bother ironing it and it looks totally fine. Just be gentle with the pin tucks. I've pulled it too hard while making the bed and a few of them came undone.

All white linens are the easiest to keep clean because you can bleach it.

All white bedding isn't brave - You can bleach the shit out of it!

Hun. Never thought of it like that. I may become a white bedding convert.

No experience, but it's really pretty!

Also, H just texted me that he is meeting up with your H in like half an hour to play basketball I can't believe they are going to meet each other before we are, lol. My goal this weekend is to get my life and apartment back on track, and I'm hoping by next week to return to the land of the living. Hopefully we can meet up sometime soon after!

I had it. I loved the look of it but all of the seams kept ripping and I would wash the duvet more often than the shams so it faded so much compared to those. It was annoying and has since been donated.

I have a similar one from Anthropologie - it washes well - no wrinkles (but I wouldn't care if it was). The pintucks have over the years gotten ripped apart (super easy to do) - so I wouldn't say I recommend it, although I think it's gorgeous :-(

I have that exact set from West Elm in our guest room. It washes and dries well.

Haha!! H came home and said your H was really nice.  H also said that he is in awful shape and was most likely the worst player there but he had a good time

I'll be away running the Chicago marathon next week, but we definitely have to get together soon!

We have it in gray slate.

We love it. (Although we are going to replace it since we're painting our room gray here soon.)
