What is the difference between an Oxford pillowcase and a housewife pillowcase?
An Oxford pillowcase has a border around the case usually between 2 to 10cm. This helps to make the bed look more elegant when made. A housewife pillowcase is a standard pillowcase with no border. When dressing a bed in a store, in a hotel or for a photoshoot, often 2 Oxford pillowcases are placed behind 2 housewife pillowcaes to give a fuller look. This is a great thing to do if you are selling your house and want to impress prospective buyers. It will also impress the Mother-In-Law when she visits.
