These sheer panels were exactly what I was looking for. We have white shutters on our oldest daughter's bedroom windows, but I wanted something on the sides to soften the look a bit, and these fit the bill. I do wish they came in different lengths, because her second window is much smaller than the main one, but I found a great local seamstress who hemmed the second set for me for about $25. Money well-spent, because now they're perfect! Definitely steam them before hanging, or the shipping wrinkles will never fall out, but once steamed they look absolutely beautiful.
