The burnout pattern is very attractive but these sheers didn't work for my full sun windows. There is too little opacity in the white part so that when viewed from the outside at night there is NO privacy -- you can see EVERYTHING inside the room. When the sun shines directly on the sheers, the white part glares so brightly you can't look at it. For a north window they'd probably work very nicely. Sadly, I had to return them. My phone pic doesn't show the degree of brightness very well. Everything white was a blinding glare.
