This style called a roman valance because of it’s horizontal pleats emulating a roman shade is the perfect treatment for a striped fabric. You don’t loose the stripes with the horizontal pleats of the roman valance.
Dear Susan:
I like the striped valance. If you were to put this on a 3″ rod, would the stiching be underneath the top pleat, so you wouldn’t see it? I need (2) like the above and my window measures 50 1/2″ from casing to casing so that doesn’t include the return on each end. I would like it 18″ OR 20″ long. If I bought the material & sent it to you how much would I need and how much would you charge me to make the 2 valances. Please let me know. Thanks.
