Design Concepts - Designer Drape

Designer Drapes are sold by TRAX Ceiling Shower Rod.com only in our local Sacramento, CA area. However, we do have a pattern to be used by those who wish to make their own drape or contract with a local seamstress or drapery maker. We have determined that it is better if the customer has personal contact with the drape maker when selecting fabrics and accessories. We do sell Decorative Outer Curtains, a decorative curtain that hangs from the same hooks as the shower curtain liner (See other page).

Designer Drape Pattern: Price: $10

Note: The pattern is included with the drapery hardware kit.

For those who would like to make their own drape or have one made by their local seamstress or drapery maker, a pattern is available which includes patterns for:

Designer Drape without Lining
Designer Drape with Lining
Three Banding Options for the Lined Drape
Tieback

Fabrics and Trims: There is a wide variety of fabric options and trim options available.

Following are example drapes demonstrating some of the different features.

	The custom designer drapes on the left and right show valance options. The drape on the left has a standard fabric valance. It also has set-in banding on both the curtain and the valance, and edge banding on the tieback. The drape on the right has a bullion fringed swag valance. Its tieback is made with the same complementary fabric as the swag and has a thick cord trimmed edge. In each case, a white Sherwood style finial is used with the drapery rod.
	These two designer drapes demonstrate fabric blocking using a print and a solid fabric in each drape with a tassel fringe trim added where the two fabrics are attached. In the picture on the right, the primary solid fabric is also used in the tieback. In the picture on the left with the flowered print primary fabric, the complementary solid fabric is used in the tieback.
	These two designer drapes demonstrate banding options. The one on the left has two-inch leading edge banding. The drape on the right has set-in two-inch banding, allowing the primary fabric to show on the edge The set-in banding can also be mitered and continued above the hem and along the bottom.
Lined vs. Unlined Drape: The drape can be either lined or unlined. A lined drape hangs and drapes nicer and has a longer life than the unlined drape. Drapery Prices: (For the Sacramento area market.) Prices are a combination of the fabric material cost and the construction cost for the drape and each selected option.
