Description
This is a pair of pure cotton pillowcases from the Blousey range, made from 100% cotton and finished with a soft ruffled edge trimmed in olive-green piping. In the photographs the body of the case is white, with the olive tone reserved for the fine piped line that runs along the ruffle. Each case measures 50 x 75cm, the standard UK housewife size, so it slips over an ordinary bed pillow without any need to hunt for an unusual fit. Sold as a pair, so you dress both sides of a double bed from a single purchase.
The ruffled edge is the reason to choose these over a plain-hemmed case. It softens the top of the bed and reads as gently country without tipping into fuss, which is why it sits happily in a relaxed modern room as well as a more traditional one. The white ground keeps the look calm, and the olive piping gives you a colour to pick up elsewhere, whether that is a throw at the foot of the bed, a striped cushion on a bench or greenery on the sill. It layers well with textured throws and with a duvet cover from the same range.
Because they are pure cotton, these pillowcases are breathable and cool against the skin, and cotton takes a warm wash and repeated laundering without complaint, so they are practical for everyday use rather than kept for best. Each case fastens with buttons, which hold the pillow securely inside and keep the closed end tidy. Do check the supplier for wash and iron guidance before first use, as the record does not carry care instructions. Pair them with a matching duvet cover and a folded throw for a full, comfortable bed.
