I got the blue version of this shower curtain.  The lace pattern was much more visible than in any of the photos.  As others have noted, the top is actually a cream color instead of white.  Also, the lace pattern is printed on, instead of woven or dyed, which means that it's only really on one side of the curtain.  You can still see the pattern on the back side of the curtain, but it's mostly just bleed through.  That was a little disappointing for me.
