iwo types ot custom draperies are offered today. One is the traditional type, made in a store’s workroom with quality specifications and with the store’s -own. fabric. These.are top quality with extra fine details such as hand-sewn hems, hem weights, and maximum fullness depending on the heaviness of the cloth.
The second custom-drapery type is made by a manufacturer who gives the store a wide range of fabric samples from which you make your selection. This type of custom drapery, depending on the manufacturer, will offer one, many, or all of the custom features mentioned above but you must check to be certain. Prices for this type of drapery tends to be slightly less but you will note that that some of the top quality fabrics are not available.
Curtains should be selected in the same manner as draperies. Fullness, especially is an important point in buying curtains because of the sheerness of the fabric. The body of your curtains shoqld be at least twice the fullness of the window area you plan to cover.
Ruffles on curtains also should be very full and a minimum of four to six inches deep. Check ruffle edges and see that there is no fraying. Good quality curtains have ruffles with a picot edge (a thin scalloped over stitch) handkerchief edge, or rolled hem. If you are buying washable curtains, check to see that any trimming such as appliques, embroideries or fringes also are washable.
