The Oxford style pillowcase came about as an alternative to the Housewife pillowcase in order to provide the pillowcase with a touch of decorative elegance and charm. The classic version is characterised throughout the years by basic simple edges and without much detail in its design.
The name “Oxford” has its origin in the type of fabric used for dressmaking, the Oxford fabric, which was used for the production of quality shirts. It's a pillowcase style characterized by presenting a decorative or frilly edge and which has a measurement in the range of approximately between 5 and 10 cm.
