First off, these are NOT made of linen as description says-they are linen looking, but are 100% polyester. I would not have purchased them knowing that. That said, they don't have a terrible hand. Also, no panel is 84", they were all 82.5". I was using hooks, so that wasn't a huge issue. All in all, I like the look of them a lot. Sheer, but not too sheer. Stripes all lined up perfectly-just make sure the larger dark colored strip is on top
