I researched quite a lot before buying these curtains. I loved that one review said they were more of a “creamsicle” color instead of bright. When I got them in the mail, the tassels were smushed, as were the curtains- they were in a package! So, I gently washed them in delicate and dried them on low for no more than 10 minutes. Then I immediately hung them and they were gorgeous! I used simple macrame rope that I made myself for the ties, and I love the way they look. They let in the sun, but provide a little privacy and dress up my window nicely. I was concerned I may have to order 2 packages to sufficiently cover my windows, but found I really like the slight-fullnes-but-not-overly-full. My windows are 72 inches long. Buy the curtains! You won’t be sorry. :)For what it’s worth, I received absolutely nothing for this review. I depend on reviews when I buy products and I know you do too, so this is just expressing my love for the curtains!We just out them up and love these curtains. They dress up the dining room . The blue is vibrant and the tassels add some texture.I love the color. I was skeptical that it would be on the bright orange side and not give the relaxing boho vibe. The curtains are more on the creamsicle side which is very soothing, calming and just right.These are nice until you ever have to wash them. Then they will shrink and create black spots all over the curtains that won’t come out.
