I was so excited after ordering these I thought they would be SO perfect but when they arrived I was so disappointed because in the picture its looks like they fade from dark to light. They are actually one solid colour and it just looks that way in the picture because the light is coming through the window. The fabric is till very pretty and they hang very nicely....They are still nice curtains but not really how they look in the picture and not really the same colour....I have made MANY wayfair purchases and this is the first one that really disappointed me.
