I LOVE THESE CURTAINS. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH... I’ve bought multiple panels! I get so many compliments from my friends and family. The curtain looks like velvet and feels like it too. You’ll see in my photos, there’s a good weight at the bottom. They fold so well with the grommets. Beautiful! They give great coverage when closed. They give a nice soft rosy glow. But they’re not black out— snapped a photo of my hand on the other side. I love them. They definitely make my room.
