Blousey Plain Cotton Pillowcase Pair - Pink

The Blousey pillowcase pair is a plain white cotton case finished with a soft ruffled edge and a fine piped trim in a gentle pink. It arrives as a pair, each case measuring 50 x 75cm, which is the standard UK housewife size that suits a regular bed pillow. The cloth is 100% cotton sateen with a 180-thread-count weave, a construction that gives the fabric a smooth, close surface and a quiet sheen rather than the matt look of a plain weave. It is the ruffle and the piped edge that make this case what it is, sitting on an otherwise unadorned white ground.

This is a pair for anyone building a soft, pared-back bedroom rather than a bold one. The white body reads clean against almost any wall colour, and the pink piping picks up warm, blush accents without committing the whole bed to a colour. It leans country and relaxed-modern at once, and it layers happily with textured throws, a muslin bedspread or extra cushions when you want the bed to look full. Because the cloth is pure cotton, it breathes well and feels cool to the touch, which matters most for the surface you sleep against.

Each case closes with a button fastening, so the pillow stays put and the opening lies flat and tidy rather than gaping. Cotton washes and wears honestly: it takes a warm wash, softens with use and presses smooth if you like a crisp finish, and the sateen surface keeps its sheen through repeated laundering. The ruffled trim benefits from a gentle shake out before it dries. If you want to carry the look across the whole bed, the wider Blousey range shares the same ruffled edge and piped detail.

What size pillow does this fit?

Each case measures 50 x 75cm, the standard UK housewife size, so it fits a regular rectangular bed pillow comfortably without leaving the cover loose.

How many pillowcases come in the pack?

This is sold as a pair, so you receive two matching pillowcases with the ruffled edge and pink piped trim on both.

What is cotton sateen and how does it feel?

Cotton sateen is a weave that brings more threads to the surface, giving a smoother, softer touch and a subtle sheen compared with a plain cotton weave.

How does the pillowcase close?

Each case has a button fastening, which holds the pillow securely inside and keeps the opening lying flat rather than gaping open at the end.

Is pure cotton easy to live with?

Cotton is breathable and absorbent, so it feels cool against the skin, and it launders and softens well with regular use over time.
