Roman Crinkle Jacquard 96-inch Curtain Panel

jacquard fabrics are made with 2 contrasting colors of threads. The pattern in the fabric is create by bringing the active thread to the top of the fabric and floating the other color on the back side. But it's always there. So when light shines thru these fine, light curtains, you see both thread colors, and the pattern just disappears. I ordered the "shell" which is dark gray and off-white; beautiful at night, hideous muddy gray mess in the day. I even hung them on a north window that has trees outside, it didn't take any direct sun, just daylight to be too much light showing though. The fabric itself is beautiful, but it must be lined with a heavy lining to let the beauty of the fabric show. I returned them and got something a flocked fabric that resembles a cut velvet-much better solution for my needs.

These are thin and not lined as other reviewers have said. These were bought for a rental and I was really surprised at how nice they looked. At night and during the day when the curtains are opened and the pattern is showing against the wall they look great. When they are closed and it's bright outside the pattern is completely washed out by the sun because the fabric is so thin. If you are trying to keep light out then I wouldn't recommend them.

I bought these curtains in Federal Blue to match bedding I ordered at Horchow. The bedding I ordered was well over $1000, and these curtains look great! You can't tell that they were such a great price. They are a thin material, but I did not need them to block light in my bedroom, so it wasn't an issue. If you are looking for something thicker, these would not be the right curtains for you. I would definitely recommend these.

Love them they didn't need a thing, not even an iron! They look rich and beutiful on the window
