I purchased three of these to make window curtains, separation curtain for a closet door and one stayed as a shower curtain. The fabric is dense and dark. Not very sheer. They were very easy to cut and sew. They are rich looking and well made. I gave them 4 stars because in my opinion they are very dense for a shower curtain. We have three windows in our bathroom so light isn't a problem. But in a small dark bathroom they would be overwhelming.
