First of all, the panels are exquisitely made. Tailored to perfection. Nice weight lining and interlining. They look and feel quite expensive. I took the coffee color and it looked really rich and elegant. Now for the problem I had¿.
The description says ¿finished width is 50 inches¿ and ¿drapery hook belt attached¿. For some reason I interpreted that to mean that at a finished width of 50 inches the drapery was pleated and ready for hooks, like the Wellington panels also advertised on the website. Not so. Each panel fell a little shy of the 50 inches, and was plain, as in no pleating whatsoever. It has a rod pocket, but the drapery belt that is attached is not at all substantial (thin elasticized material) and I can¿t even imagine how it is supposed to work with the weight of the curtains. If you are thinking to put two panels (approx. 100 inches wide) at a window that is 75 inches wide, think again. By the time you gather them a bit (after all curtains are not hung flat out), you are going to find that you¿ll need 3-4 panels. If they were pleated, two panels would be fine. Since I can¿t afford to buy more panels I am sending them back.
