Will a king size down duvet fit in a queen size duvet cover?
It probably will do, just try it. You never know unless you try.
Answer two.
The King duvet is about 15 Inches longer and about four inches wider than the Queen, so you might have to fold over at the top, but I am sure it will work for you. You could also remove the excess inches.
You could take a pair of underwear that are to small and cut off the bottom half (not the part where it holds on your waist ) the take a strapless bra strap or a shoe lace and tie or hook it to the elastic and if wanted to add your own twist and this creates a g-string or a thong.
