I've searched for a while for a simple but elegant white valance at several local stores with no luck.   Finally decided to shop online and found Wayfair and these perfect vacancies to meet my needs.   Not quite sure of what the width represents but I got two to hang over my shower curtain and gathered them a little instead of the straight look.  They are just what I was looking for and made well, not perfect but well.  There are loose strings inside where the pole goes which tells me the fabric can fray but I figure they aren't in constant motion so they should hold up fine.   Very pretty for me but kept it simple for my husband's taste.  I would buy again but of course wish they were a little cheaper.
