Even prettier in person. I love the "linen" look of the fabric. I have them on an East facing window and the sun comes blazing in as soon as it comes up. These curtain,s help dramatically to filter that light to (in my opinion) a pleasing glow. If you want curtains that give you 100% blackout, these may not be for you, otherwise, I think they're great! I'd order them again in a heartbeat.
