I bought this beautiful linens in red (color pattern V1) only 1 week ago and am thrilled. She is beautiful and soft to sleep like a baby in there. Ironing or lack is unnecessary because it is not creased. I have now washed 1x and the water in the washing machine was quite red. So get the sheets absolutely alone wash. We'll see if this has placed at the 2nd wash. I have never regretted the purchase and will even buy myself a 2nd set. We recommend.
