Just beautiful! In silver, these linen-like drapes are a cool, almost dove grey, with a loose, open weave that lets in plenty of light but still cuts the glare. I didn't want too much light darkening but I didn't want a plain sheer, and these are perfect. As for privacy, looking outside in you can't see anything clearly. Using the back tabs, they look elegant and drape gracefully, not stiffly, and pleats are so easy to arrange with hem weights. The tailoring is excellent. They arrived before schedule, packaged nicely on a hanger so they had no wrinkles and were ready to hang! I'm very pleased with them paired with white sheers. Thank you!
