These are beautiful. I have trouble with white curtain shears, in that I feel most look cheap in quality even if they are not. These look like a nice linen. I did get more than I thought I would need because they are quite shear. I’m glad I did because I ended up using all of them to get the coverage I was looking for. They are stiff, but will likely soften up once washed- I didn’t, I was too impatient to put them up.
