These semi sheer curtains are exactly what I wanted.  I already have blinds on the windows, so I am using these curtains to soften the look.  The texturing is what makes these curtains stand out and takes the fabric from flat to fabulous!  I needed 6 panels for 3 windows, but based on some reviewers saying that the curtains were different lengths, I went ahead and ordered 8 panels to have extra to choose from and returned the ones I didn't use.  The curtains look just like the photos.  I'm very happy with them and would definitely buy again.
