I ordered this shower curtain to go with a black, white and grey color themed bathroom I was putting together and it was the perfect addition.The translucent strips let decent light into the shower if you use a clear shower curtain liner (the only lights in my bathroom are above the sink and I can still see well in the shower), and the swirls on those translucent strips are a nice touch.Note that the strips really are a silvery clear, though they may look whitish in the photos on Amazon because of the white shower walls behind them.The height of the bottom strip is perfect; it lines up just above the edge of my bathtub.The top strip is good for letting in light, but I will say that (at least at the height that my shower curtain rod is hung) it would not appropriately conceal a woman's upper body if there were someone else in the bathroom at the same time!That's probably not an issues for many people since someone who would be in the bathroom at the same time you're showering is probably someone you're very close to, but it's worth noting that it doesn't provide quite as much privacy as it could if that strip was placed differently on the curtain.
The black fabric is a typical, relatively thin polyester that is probably pretty waterproof, which wouldn't look particularly classy on its own.However, the shiny grey/silver strips and the translucent swirly strips really add to it and I don't notice that the black fabric isn't very thick.That's the only reason I gave it four starts instead of five, is that all it would take for this to look like a really nice expensive curtain would be to make the black part out of a nicer and thicker fabric.It still looks wonderful though, and I think it's well worth the money I paid.There were some loose threads hanging off of some areas when I received it, since there are so many seams with the multiple strips of fabric (and I think a couple were from the thread of the swirls), but I just trimmed them off and it looks fine and doesn't seem to be poorly made.I haven't put it through the wash yet so I'm not sure how it will hold up, though I have thrown it in the dryer to de-wrinkle it and it came out just fine.
I paired this with a grey bath mat, grey towels, and black fabric storage bins on a silver over-the-toilet shelf rack, and the whole combination looks wonderful.
This item appears to be black, gray & white in the picture. However, the white part is actually see through. After reading the reviews I decided to purchase the item for my gray, black & white bathroom and it's a very good compliment. I did decide to use a white liner to get the look of the picture and it worked great!

I tried 3 of these, each one with flaws. The 1st one had a hole I could fit my pinky into. The 2nd not only was sewn crooked so that half was slightly but noticeably higher than the other, but had many, many threads. Some come right off without cutting, just loose strings, some appeared as ends of the circles not cut off, others were attached from one circle to the next so not knowing if the circles would come apart if you cut these, you have to leave them. The 3rd curtain I received had the stitching attaching the bottom lace to the fabric actually all coming out! Love the look and matches my bathroom wonderfully but very poorly, cheaply made! D

I ordered this because I have a bathroom with "hard to match" wallpaper. So I needed something in this color,that wouldn'tcompete with the print on the wallpaper.It is a lightweight curtain, and has a bitof an iridescent quality to it. The areas that appear white in the picture are actually clear. I used a white shower curtain liner with the curtain, as shown in the picture. One thing to be aware of,isthe quality of the stitching. There is a spiral pattern stitched Into the curtain, and the stitching looks overdone and clumsy in some areas. It may be a flaw in this particular curtain though, and not an issue with the design in general.

I love this shower curtain. I had looked for months to find the perfect curtain to compliment my very modern red/black/white motif master bathroom. I wanted something very classic, yet with the modern flair.
