These beautiful custom pinch pleat drapes are made to your exact specifications for a fraction of the price of typical custom drapes! You can decide how full you want them, how long, the color, and the lining type. They will take a few weeks to a month to arrive, but mine were delivered faster than I was expecting.

I have these pinch pleat drapes all over my home! I have unlined, blackout, ready-made, and custom. You can see the breakdown here!

Note, these are ordered per panel. I have 4 panels on the below bay window.

How To Order Custom Drapes

These drapes are the same maker as my Amazon custom drapes, but you can order them directly through the retailer’s website instead of through their Amazon storefront. It is a very similar process, and the customer service is just as great! I personally don’t think it makes a difference which platform you use, but the retailer’s website is currently running a sale for Christmas sale that isn’t currently available on Amazon.

You can order a sample book here if you want to see all of the color choices in your home.

Customizable Options

Each customizable option will affect the total price of the drapes. These are ordered per panel. See below on how to order!

• Below are the choices I made for my bay window drapes:
  • Color : Paper White / #7084-0
    • There are lots of color choices! “Paper White” is a pure white linen look curtain. You can order a sample book here!
  • Header Types : Triple Pinch Pleat (**this is different than triple tailor pleat)
    • These are a little more expensive than the regular pinch pleat. I don’t think that the triple pleat is necessary over the regular pinch pleat to get that beautiful custom look. My dining room drapes are regular pinch pleat
  • 4 Panels Total:
    • Panels Finished Width (Inch):
      • 2 Outer Panels: 50in
        • I measured my two outer windows and multiplied each panel by ~1.5 to get a full look. I had to take into consideration that I didn’t have much room on the outside of the windows.
      • 2 Inner Panels: 75in
        • I wanted these panels to be fuller than the outer panels, so I multiplied the outer panels by 1.5x. This is not scientific! I just made an assumption based on the outer drapes, and the distance between the inner windows and the outer windows.
    • Single Panel Finished Length (Inch): 108in
      • My ceilings are 10 foot tall, and I had to account for our crown molding. I suggest hanging your curtains high above your windows. For over 8 ft ceilings, I suggest hanging them 1 foot below the top of the ceiling (108 in for 10 ft, 96 in for 9 ft.). For 8 foot or below, I suggest hanging them as close to the ceiling as you can, without overcrowding any type of molding you have.
  • Lining Types : Room Darkening Liner Shading Rate 75%
    • This lining was heavy enough to make the curtains look and feel expensive (they are heavy!). I wanted them lined, but there was no need for blackout lining in my living room.
  • Matching Tiebacks or Not : No
    • I do not use tiebacks for my curtains
  • Drapery Rod Rings : No
    • I bought my own here!
  • Memory Shaped: No. This is professional pressing process which I’m sure looks great, but isn’t necessary in my opinion

What Else You Will Need

• A few other things you will need:
  • Bay Window Rod
    • I chose this brass bay window rod for my bay window. It is connected in the corner by a rotating ball making connecting the corners easy.
  • Curtain Rings
    • I chose to use warm gold rings
  • Drapery Hooks
    • I used the plastic drapery hooks that come with the curtains. All you need to do is insert them in the back of the pleats and then hook on the rings.
  • Note: Since they were so heavy, my husband ended up using dry wall anchors to hang them.

Drapery Care

When you get your drapes hung, I recommend steaming them if possible. After you get out as many of the wrinkles as you can, I also recommend “training” the pleats for a few weeks (or as long as you can). This will get you the uniform, tight folded pinch pleat look. To train your curtains, fold the curtains at each pleat in an “accordion style” in uniform folds all the way from the header down to the bottom hem. Then wrap them loosely with any type of ribbon at the top, mid-section, and bottom.
