These curtains are beautiful!!! I was scared to order at first but the reviews were so positive I took the chance and I'm glad that I did!!! I ordered 108 length in eggshell and they puddle perfect in my formal dining and living rooms. Don't hesitate to purchase!!! They are made of good quality material, heavy, they do block the sun. Iron them on the silk selection. Since the material is taffeta, all of the wrinkles will not come out but they will look/hang better if ironed. I will hang them with clips. It's easier to open/close them and the clips gives a more elegant/formal look.
