I love these curtains. I have them on my front door and they look really nice. The slub stripe texture makes them really pop. They look much better than the plain white curtains we had on the door before. They are very sheer so they will let in a good amount of light. They do seem to be resistant to dust. We have an old dusty house and we also have several furry pets so there's always dust and fur floating around the house. These curtains have been on the door for quite some time now and still look brand new and clean.
