I did not really see the small lace on the duvet in the picture. that part makes the duvet a little more feminine and this was for a boys room...hence why I did not give it 5 stars. Love the color of grey...just what I was looking for. The covers for the pillows are for standard size pillows but I love that you can use both sides...one is solid and one is the stripe...again with the small detail of the lace on it. I have not washed it to know how it wears but I do like the duvet overall.
