Somehow I thought this had a sheen to it given the image I saw on the website.  I think it is quite pretty however despite the rather deceptive image.  It makes a regal statement in my downstairs powder room and certainly manages to class up the boring bathroom area.  It's unique and hangs nicely but it is rather thin for the money.  I have had other polyester shower curtains that are much thicker .  I hope it is resilient given that is was somewhat on the pricey side.
