I ordered these curtains in the ivory color and they are gorgeous! The pleats at the top make it look so much nicer than regular drapes. They came out of the package, ready to hang -- no wrinkles or defects. I have mini-blinds in the window (under the curtains) to block out light when I want to. I purchased these drapes to soften the room and they do that beautifully! I plan to order a couple more in other colors. Highly recommend!
