These curtains are really pretty in person. I really love the vibe they give, light and beachy. We are using them in our play area for the kids. They complement the white and navy walls very well. HOWEVER, I only washed them on a quick cycle, NO DRYER  and they shrunk up by almost 6in, and width wise by 3-4in. Im guessing its the fabric type and weave that just tightened up from just from a washing. I let them air dry  ironed them. My husband and I measured them before  after the washing. So Im definitely disappointed by the shrinking. Weve managed to pull and stretch them back some but not to the original length. They were supposed to go thr bottom of our door and are short by several inches.
