Pinch pleats, looking sophisticated and neatly tailored, are a very popular way to finish off the top of drapes. A pinch pleated drapery is a great addition to any traditional or elegant styled space since it offers a dramatic, yet timeless look. This type of drapery is called ‘pinched’ because the top of the drape is literally pinched together. The pinched pleats are spaced evenly apart and weighted at the bottom of the seams. This creates a tailored look at the top. As the fabric drops down toward the floor, the pleats control the fullness allowing the drape to fall smoothly and evenly. A pinch pleated drape is hung usually using pin hooks that are pierced into the fabric at the top of the back of the curtain panel next to each pleat. The pins are then attached to a traverse rod or rings that hang from a decorative rod.
