Every time I buy a new duvet set for my bed I have to order matching pillowslips or as near as I can get for under the one with the set.... why do more manufacturers not make sets with four or six pillowcased all matching.

LOL first world problems. I have another first world problem - why aren't all dust ruffles split at the corners JUST IN CASE you have a bed with a footboard????????? I mean it would still hang nicely with the split, even if you don't have a footboard, but it WILL NOT hang nicely without a split if you have a footboard.

Oh the trials of a middle aged homemaker in America!!!

I've done this - but I really prefer not having to sew the edges - or have raw edges. I wish they came with a little split instead!

I've got an antique rice bed, so the mattress and box springs sit significantly higher up than on a more typical bed. They don't even make a bed skirt long enough for my bed. I had to have one custom made (with splits at the corners), and you don't even want to know how much it cost me.
