Thanks Angie dear. I agree with you that fluid and drapy are the way to go. Which is why I liked pic 1 best of the second lot (but not the scratchiness)
I can't stay long here (last day of current job, lots to do) but just wanted to say that, given I have 2 of the smaller size, and very limited chance of getting a bigger size ( I could order it, but am reluctant to get a shipping charge again) how much of a deal breaker is the small size?
