I ironed and hung these curtains because I wanted to love them, but the wrinkles were incredibly hard set, they did not come out even with heavy steam, but they would probably have gotten better as they hung. However, the curtains did not look festive at all, just "blah", almost unattractive. The most prominent color is GRAY it doesn't even look silver and the purple is drab so it doesn't distract for the vast amount of gray. I am returning.
