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.
