The Ralph Lauren velvety white curtains  (they are a velvety 100% cotton fabric so they are not velvet ) are as other reviewer‘s mentioned, extremely wrinkled and have stains (A rust color, almost looks like make up foundation)  in several areas on the curtains. The stains can be strategically hidden but they shouldn’t have stains when they are new. It says the curtains are black out but a lot of light comes through, they are not black out completely. They are a perfect snow white white color though.
