FRENCH PLEAT CURTAIN EXPLANATION VIDEO
Ruched top curtains. Double sided and interlined. Made in a cotton stripe on one side and floral pattern the other side. These curtains are double sided and ideal as mock curtains on a bay window or on an archway between two areas where the fabric on each side can be seen. The grey, ochre yellows and buff colours give this traditional pattern a little more contemporary feel. The ruched top heading is pulled over the pole to create the gathering. The hems are bagged out so they can be pooled on the floor to add more drama and luxury, especially suitable for mock curtains where they can be set and not moved. They are made with 1.5 widths fabric each side for maximum fullness.
Ruched top pleats are a casual pleating, the random gathering is more relaxed and the extended flare at the top can be optional. These curtains will look well in a traditional room and will add extra drama. The ruched heading is created by running the pole thorugh the tunnel in the curtains onto the pole so therefore they are only display curtains and generally are not pulled. They are lined and interlined and like all our curtains have hand sewn hems and the sides are hand sewn. The interlining is bagged out with the fabric which gives a fuller hem and means the curtains hug the floor better. Some curtains are made with bonded lining but this is a stiffer lining and doesn't hang as well so losing the lovely drape of the fabric. Other curtains leave the interlining loose from the fabric on the hem, again this lessens the effectiveness of the drape and the luxury look is lost. All our soft furnishing and window dressings are made in our own workroom by a team of skilled crafts people. The quality of all our curtains are outstanding.
