The quality of the fabric was beautiful, I ordered two valances to use as cornice style....................one of the valances the flowers were upside down:( Sara at customer service sent another one out, unfortunately that was 1/4 long at end so it didn't look good because it butted up with the other valance in the middle, I tried every which way to make it work:(..............to have someone redo it to look right was costly:(, I am returning it, if I wanted to do shirring on the rod it would have been just fine....................:( I still will give this a 4 star.
