Draperies
Drapes are straight panels
of fabric. Variations are created
by the “heading,” which refers to
the way the window treatment
hangs from the curtain rod or
mounting board.
Many people use the
terms curtains and drapes
synonymously; however, there
are lot of differences between
them.

Difference of Draperies from Curtains

Draperies
The current fashion in drapes is two
matching tall columns of fabric that flank a
window like sentries guarding a palace
entrance. There are two standard lengths
you can found in stores: 84 inches and 95 or
96 inches. The length of the drapes dictates
the height of the rod. If 84-inch-long drape,
the rod must be mounted roughly 84 inches
from the floor if the curtains hang from the
rod without rings.

Draperies
Different styles of Drapes
1. Puddling
This style is extra-long
panels with inches of fabric
"puddling" on the floor, creating
a ball-gown effect. This can be
an elegant look for fabrics with
the right weight and weave,
such as synthetics and silks.

Draperies
2. Hemmed Up
Drapes don't have to be
long. Some are hemmed to
reach a specific point on the
window—typically the window
sash or just below the bottom of
the molding around the window.
These window treatments tend
to be more casual than long
drapes and are often sewn from
lightweight fabrics, such as
cotton and muslin.

Draperies
3. Pleated and Gathered
The most popular type
of drape is the gathered style,
which is most commonly
available as ready-made
drapes. A panel is flat until
you clip it to rings or thread it
onto a curtain rod. When the
panel pulls to the side of the
window, the fabric gathers
into gentle waves.

Draperies
Types of Drapery Pleats
1. Ripple Fold
Ripple fold style are
draperies that have a
consistent s- curve rippling
across the span of the track.
The ripples are created by
carriers corded together to
create that consistent wave.

Draperies
2. Tailored Pleat
It is another best-selling
drapery design here at The
Shade Store. It is fuller, and has
an understated elegance.
Known for its waterfall pleat
design, the pleats are held stiff
with a buckram stiffener,
allowing this type of drapery to
remain very functional and easy-
to-operate.

Draperies
3. Pinch Pleat
It is a drapery header that
involves pinching together two
to five measured out pleats and
sewing them together so that
they synch together at the top.
Draperies with pinch pleats can
be hung using hardware such
as a rod and rings, an exposed
track, a hidden track with
cornice, or a curved track.

Draperies
4. Inverted Pleat
An Inverted pleat is a
common drapery header type
that adds texture and depth to
the textile, while turning the
fullness of the curtain inward.
It is the reverse of a box pleat,
which is made while taking
depth, underlay, and spacing
into account.

Draperies
5. Grommet Pleat
Draperies with a
grommet top have metal rings
punched into the fabric that
allow them to slide along the
rod easily. The grommet rings
create a ripple fold when you
feed them on to the rod, so
they form uniform pleats
without training your drapes.

Draperies
6. Goblet Pleat
A goblet pleat is a
drapery header type that
involves forming a circle with
the top few inches of the
curtain, and then pinching
together a few inches below to
form three pleats. This type of
pleat is a hybrid of a cartridge
pleat and a pinch pleat.

Draperies
7. Rod Pocket Pleat
The most classic and
common of all methods of
hanging curtains, a rod
pocket is a sewn-in pocket,
or casing, at the top of a
curtain panel that easily
slips over a rod and
conceals it.
