I bought these after doing a lot of searching for a bold blue print and reading the reviews here. I knew it was a gamble. But these are very unattractive in person. The heavy weight is nice but the texture is a flat cotton weave like old school Dockers khakis. Most of the time when you see 100% cotton curtains that means a fine gauge linen cotton, but these are flat and cheap. The colors are also sort of tie dyed which I am not into. Also, I wanted predominantly blue and there is much more cream in these than the photo shows- in the photo, they have carefully put the cream bits in the inner folds so you don't see as much of it. Just not what I was looking for.
