I chose these Curtainworks Lynette curtain for my bathroom because I liked how "cottage-like" they looked. They have a real dainty farmhouse feel to them. Although I wasn't expecting them to be so thin. I thought this might be a problem as my young daughter is afraid of everything, especially the bathroom window at night. Somehow she thinks if the boogeyman can see her then he can get her and that a window or curtain is the one barrier protecting her. Lol All that being said,  the sheerness of it wasn't a problem! During the day, the light can shine through and because it is so thin we even get a slight breeze still will the curtains closed. And at night they lose their transparency enough to protect my scaredy cat. I love them! Made so well and beyond easy to put up. Overall, A+++!
