I layered these curtain panels underneath blue/white patterned panels in our bedroom. I was hoping for white, but by the description these were exactly what I was looking for (open weave). They are definitely a cream color, but they look fantastic. These look tremendous layered underneath a strong fabric, and they provide enough privacy that we can leave the main panels open all day. Even my husband (who isn't a fan of too much decor) had to agree that these really changed the look of the room. They are not too feminine (more casual), so I ordered some for my son's room as well. It's hard enough finding sheers for 108", but this price and quality can't be beat. They really give the room a polished and "finished" look. Thanks to the other reviewers who swayed my decision!
