Questionable if I wanted to buy 'somewhat' see-through' drapes, but I knew I could return them if not 'working' in my separate dining area.  I even thought about adding sheer curtains behind the drapes - then decided not to.  The drapes are really nice and glad I did not buy the sheer panels with no design behind the burnout drapes.  Almost everything I  purchased through my remodel was from Wayfair - ' I definitely will continue until I run out of rooms!
