OMG! I can't imagine what the real thing must look like because this is so heavenly. I am totally purchasing this for all of both our master bedroom and the guest room, and the hallway windows. This was a nice weight, and I immediately fell in love the true "robin egg blue" color right away. I hung it up, put my hand steamer to it, and it look so luxe and super fabulous. I am excited to see what the gold and silver tones look like. They are expensive but so worth it!
