FADFAY Pastoral Style Adjustable Balloon Curtain Living Room Shade Curtain for Living Room Set,Off-White，1 Panel

These are gorgeous! I'm a picky person, and after reading a ton of reviews, want to give a few tips to help others out - and thanks to others that did so!The curtain will seem wrinkly, loose threads here and there, etc. At this price point, with the crochet and cut-outs, that is to be expected. I thought I would have to wash or steam before hanging but decided to hang first to see if i needed to return it, and I'm so glad I did as the fabric was very forgiving!I bought two panels so that I could gather them a bit (so about double the width of my window) and decided to hang using clip-on curtain rings since I have a DIY wood "valance" that wouldn't make using a rod very easy.In other reviews, I see confusion about what's included in the package and how to get a balloon/gathered effect so here's my take:1. You can hang these curtains a variety of ways, including hanging straight down, tying back to the side of a window, or "ballooning". The package includes a little ziplock bag of pieces that allow you to achieve these effects, you will not use everything. Included is a set of metal curtain hooks (you only use if you are hanging from a drapery rod that requires those fasteners), 4 plastic C rings (you will only use if you balloon/gather), and a crochet fabric strip and single metal hook (you will only use if you do tie back).2. Just FYI for those that don't know - "ballooning" is a method of hanging curtains. It can be done with any lightweight curtain by sewing a few rows of small round rings on the back of the curtain and gathering them together with a larger "C" ring, creating a ballooning effect. Rings for this purpose are sold at fabric stores (although technically you could use any type of rings) so if you lose any rings, you can easily replace them.3. The curtain you will get already has the little plastic rings sewn on back, 4 vertical rows of 5 rings each. When ballooning, you will use one big C ring per each row of sewn-on rings. You have the option of gathering every row so the curtain hangs at an even length all the way across, or only gathering the middle rows (like in my photo) to get a swag effect. Basically, how many rings and which rings you use to gather will be up to you so you can get the look you want.4. To gather/balloon the curtain: Hang first with the sewn-on rings facing the window. Take a "C" ring and slip the bottom portion of the C into the bottom sewn-on ring. Bring the C up to the next sewn-on ring in that vertical row (you'll be pulling up the curtain as you go) and slip the bottom portion of the "C" into that ring, then go up and do the same to the next ring, and so on. If you find the rings keep slipping off, simply smooth the fabric down around the ring as you go (you'll adjust later). When you are at the last/topmost sewn-on ring, slip the TOP portion of the C ring into it and gently let go of the C ring and allow the curtain to hang on its own. Now do the next row - being careful when lifting the curtain so you don't accidentally knock rings off the previously gathered row - can be annoying lol. When you've done all the rows you want, stand back and start poking and tugging at the front of the curtain to create the desired ballooning effect.Note: Some people have mentioned using the string in the middle of the decorative cut-out to gather the curtain (by pulling the string). This is NOT how you gather/balloon - it is simply a part of the decorative cutout and although it worked for a few people, it simply isn't how it is done, and you will ruin your curtain.Also note: if you aren't used to ballooning, you may pull the curtain out and think it's junk. Just move forward by hanging and using the C rings to gather as described above and in other reviews, and TRUST (ha). It really was super easy and took all of 5 minutes!

I purchased 4 of these curtains and so glad I picked them! They came nicely packaged with all the various things to hang them (hooks, c-rings and tie backs). I love the crisp fabric these are made from and the design elements met my expectations. I ballooned them using the small rings sewn on the back and they are voluminous, which I love!! I put one curtain in my kitchen window and used the tie backs from the others to cinch it up higher and that worked perfectly. Of course, you can use anything to bring them up higher if you want: other curtain tie backs a string of wooden beads, jute rope..anything!! I also like the curtain rod pocket…it has a stiff lining in it so it keeps the rod pocket from looking flimsy…almost like you have a thicker rod in it but I used a cheap rod and you can’t even tell. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the shabby rustic chic look of these curtains.

Lucky to find these beautiful balloon shades that help block the view of the house behind me (lost some privacy this year when mature trees died due to unusual cold spell in the winter), but allow the back yard to be seen for a more open feel. Cream color ideal match with the sheer long side panels and Heritage Lace ecru valances I already had. Installation super simple: lightweight tension rods inside top frames of windows. Love them!

A photo does not do justice! Very pretty and very versatile you can be really creative with these.

Just as I was looking for.

Ivory curtain was pretty but the long crocheted braid at the bottom was difference from pictures. Also the rings kept coming unstitched.

I absolutely love these shades. They are stiff so they hold their shape when put up. They look fabulous in my living room. I bought the white/cream color and they fit just right.

These are beautiful curtain, the vendor delivered in time and quality.Thank you,

Love it. Even pretier in real life
