As silk pillowcases really help one's skin recover from daily wear, I have used silk pillowcases for several years now. My original cases were hard to find, and home made; they didn't launder well and barely fit. These are well made, roomy for the pillow, very gorgeous soft silk and my skin has been very gently treated by sleeping on them. I will surely order more as this item is one of life's great comforts!
