These are okay at best , VERY over priced and not even a good material. The material is stiff , it washed fine , I did not put the material in the dryer . I only bought them because of the color . They are a very perfect shade of white without being stark and they are definately not on the yellow side like some cream or ivory shades , hence the reason for my purchase . I had valances that needed a tier to go with them and I literally tried 5 other pair and the color was the issue until I found these .
