What Are French Pleats?
French pleats have the same functionality and characteristics as pinch pleats, as they consist of groups of three evenly spaced pleats that are tacked together along the top of the drapery. If the design consisted of only two pleats, it would be known as a Dutch pleat. Curtain rings are attached at the top of the pleats and glide smoothly along a rod—making opening and closing the French pleat drapes a breeze.
The Allure of French Pleats
French pleats are a popular choice for sheer drapes, but the design works well with almost any fabric. The designers at Alluring Window NYC have found that French pleats also work well in combination with other types of window treatments, allowing you to design your own custom look. Pair them with a valance or install French pleated drapes made of damask over light, airy, sheer panel curtains for a classy, layered look. Draw them all the way open or use tiebacks to mold your French pleated drapery into a sophisticated swath.
