Lucie Linen Blend Curtain

For pleated curtains, we recommend ordering a total curtain width equal to 1x the length of your curtain rod or track. Measure from the eyelet ring where the curtain hooks will be attached.

For pleated curtains, the curtain width refers to the finished width after the pleats have been set. By default, a 2x fabric allowance is used when creating pleats and gathers.

The curtain width is measured from the bottom hem on one side of the curtain to the bottom hem on the other side.

Yes. Since pleats are permanently sewn into the curtain, we normally make pleated curtains with 200%–230% fullness.

For example, if your rod or track length is 100 inches, you may order two panels, each 50 inches wide, for pinch pleated or tailor pleated header styles. You may also order additional width if you prefer a fuller look.

Stacking width refers to the amount of space the curtains occupy when they are fully opened or pulled to one side of the window or doorway.

TWODRAPES curtain stacking width varies depending on the fabric and header style, and usually accounts for about 20%–30% of the ordered width.

Depending on the style of the curtain header, your pleated curtain order will include the following hooks:
Plastic adjustable pin hooks allow you to adjust the curtain length within a 2-inch range. Curtain rod rings must be purchased separately.

The number of pleats and pin hooks is generally as follows:

10 pleats for 50" width
13 pleats for 72" width
15 pleats for 84" width
19 pleats for 100" width
21 pleats for 110" width
23 pleats for 120" width
27 pleats for 150" width

The pleat width and spacing may vary slightly depending on your track or pole length.

You can check the pleat quantity for wider sizes here.

For most pleated curtains, if the finished length is within 310–340 cm / 122–134 inches, the curtain can usually be made without a vertical seam.

If the finished length is over this range, or if the fabric needs to be vertically cut, the curtain may need double-width sewing with a vertical seam.

The exact result depends on the fabric width and curtain style.

The maximum size for Memory Shaping is:

Width: 160 inches
Length: 246 inches

Curtains exceeding these dimensions cannot be memory-shaped.

Memory Shaping is not suitable for all header styles. Header styles that do not support Memory Training include inverted box pleat, rod pocket, grommet, back tape, flat hooks, 4-in-1, and ripple fold.

These styles are designed to maintain their intended appearance through their own construction and hanging method, so Memory Training is not necessary.

Memory Training is a technique designed to help curtains hold their shape and keep the pleats looking neat.
