Help with buying voile curtains please!

i wanted to buy some net curtains but hate them , so i have found some plain white curtains in voile, i have never had voile before and am stuck now on what gather i should have, i know i wont be able to block out light but i want to dampen it down a bit, should i go for the 2.5x gather or would i be better with 3x, i dont want it to look too flouncy either!! i know that voile is thin so maybe 3x would look ok? any help gratefully received

any opinions on what is best? thanks :)

    I bought some voile 'net' curtains that had a silver design through them. Mine was a double gathering, and yes you can see through them at night. During the day they are fine though and the fluidity of the drop (once sized) beats nets anyday.
    Birthdays are just an excuse to eat cake :p
