I found a duvet cover I like. I was originally thinking All cotton. I found something I really like but it is 85% linen and 15% cotton. I want to know will this show more wrinkles with washing and drying or less? Will it need to be ironed after washing? Please help!

Linen's charm IS wrinkles and looking limp. If you do not like properties of linen then look for another fabric.
Do you have a link to the cover?

It's called Grace from Pottery Barn. The color is yellow gold. Thanks so much for your reply. I didn't want to purchase until I knew if I would be ironing it all the time, I guess I should stick with All cotton.

I love wearing linen but I hate looking like a sack of apples so i hardly do wear it. Anything that has that much linen will be quite wrinkly and you will likely be ironing it after washing. It's wonderful stuff if you don't mind the wrinkles and love to iron.

I used to work at Chico's and everything that had any linen in it required ironing by mid day.

In case you decide to go with their organic cotton I can attest that their duvet covers wash up nicely as I have the Blythe Paisley.

The Grace bedding sure is beautiful!

Thank you all for your replies!
