Lace Curtain Shapes and Styles

Swag Pair
Composed of two pieces with long drop to frame the window. The length varies from pattern to pattern. 32" to 63". This style is usually used on a single window, but can also be used on a multiple window by adding a valance(s) between the short part of the swag.
Fan Swag
Composed of one piece which is best used on a single window. Length on sides is approximately 48". Dip in center 27"-30". In the case of the English Ivy pattern, a ribbon can be strung in the dip and pulled up to create a balloon effect.

Valance
One piece curtain made to cover the top portion of the window. The drop varies from 11" to 22" according to pattern.
Festoon
Just as the valance, a festoon covers the top portion of the window. It dips down in a pleasing curve in the center. It can be used by itself or it is also made to fit perfectly within a swag pair for wide windows. You may also use a festoon over panel curtains as a second layer of lace for a very nice look.

Tier
A tier is hung from the middle of the window and normally hangs to the sill or even an inch or so below the apron (trim under the sill). Tiers usually come in 24", 30" or 36" lengths.

Panel
Lace panels are similar to tiers except that they are hung at the top of the window rather than from the center. Panels are versatile in that they may be left hanging straight, tied back, or criss-crossed and tied. Panel lengths vary by pattern from 45" to 84". Panels may be hung to rest on the sill, several inches below the sill or even to 1" of the floor for a more formal look. If, however, there is heat on the wall, the panel should hang at least 8" above the heat.
Door / Sidelight Panels
Door panels are 36" to 72" long x 48" wide. Sidelight panels are 36" to 72" long but only 24" wide. If your door glass opening is 36" or 63" high (up and down) it is best to use the next longer panel.
