Goblet Pleat Drapes

Step 1: Measure the Length - Drop

If using rings, measure from the bottom of the ring.

If using a track, measure from the bottom of the glider.

If hanging directly from a rod, measure from the top of the rod.

Then measure down to where you want your drapes to end:

• For window sill length: Measure to the windowsill and subtract 0.4 inches for clearance.
• For apron length: Measure about 4-6 inches below the sill.
• For floor-length: Measure to the floor and subtract 0.4 inches to prevent dragging.
• For full wall coverage: Measure from just below the ceiling to the floor, subtracting 0.4 inches for a clean finish.

If the rod or track isn’t installed yet, estimate about 6 inches above the window frame or higher if you want full wall coverage.

Step 2: Measure the Width of Your Window

Measure the width of your window recess and add 6-8 inches on each side. This gives the drapes space to stack neatly and allows the pleats to hold their structure.

Step 3: Measure Your Curtain Pole or Track

• For a track: Measure the full length from one end to the other.
• For a pole: Measure between the finials.

Goblet pleated drapes require extra fullness. Multiply your track or pole width by 2 to 2.5 to ensure the pleats form properly and hold their shape.

Step 4: Double-Check Your Measurements

Double-check all measurements before placing your order. Proper sizing ensures your goblet pleat drapes hang beautifully and maintain their sculpted, elegant look.
