Oooh. Good luck in finding them, but they are very pretty and moody!

Saw a set almost exactly like that at Wal-Mart. Not the best quality obviously but looked very similar.

Not the same vivid colors, but look at the urban outfitters damask burnout that is currently on sale. Also, JC penny Medina sheer damask... or horchow collection.

For something more in the color range, you will prob. have to find a damask burnout and do custom.

Probably custom-made from burnout sheer fabric yardage-
- not everything comes off a retailer's shelf, you know.

You could probably make these yourself, or have your drycleaner stitch them up for you. If you don't have a great fabric store near you, try eBay. There are lots of good fabric merchants there, and I'm sure you can find something similar.

P.S. I think this type of fabric is called VELVET damask on eBay.

you could even try cost plus world market (not sure what it's called). they always have those moody kind of velvet sheers.

I swear I just saw something very similar at Pier 1. Not sure how sheer they were, but they definitely have a few things in that style/color palette. Good luck!

Nope these are from IKEA! I recognized them at once because I used to have these curtains hanging in my bedroom. I bought them 3 years ago, but I don't see them on their website anymore - I'd give you mine but I donated them last time I moved. Maybe IKEA will bring them back for the Fall? Or you might try eBay.. Good luck!

You'd probably have much better luck getting the exact color, quality, and pattern you want (damask's very greatly) by just buying the fabric and either making the curtains yourself or taking them to a seamstress.

Try searching for "velvet burnout"/ "damask burnout" or other variations.

Lot of fabric sites will send you a sample fabric swatch of the fabric before you buy so don't be afraid to look online!

Oh, and also try "jacquard burnout" :)

bepsf, TV is almost always retail, unless it's a permanent set.

Don't know the brand name, but they sell very similar sheers at a store in my hometown called Cynthia East Fabrics, (501) 663-0460

Yes, they are absolutely, definately, without a doubt from IKEA! I bough them about 4 years ago, in Australia, although I haven't seen them there for some time...

I'm sorry, but I'm concentrating more on the fact Nathon Fillon is the guy in the picture - go Captain Mal!

P.S. Watch Firefly if you need to know what I mean.
