This cozy shower wrap will make you feel like you’re at a luxury spa every time you step out of the shower. Try it in extra-thirsty 100% cotton terry velour with quilting cotton for the binding, flower accent, and ribbon-edged pocket.
It’s two tablecloths in one. The top is created with three pretty print fabrics. The back is a soft yellow with a print accent kick for the flounces. Each corner comes together like a perfect four-way intersection. For breakfasts and more.
