Description

Custom Sheer Draperies for Your Home
Each sheer drapery set is made to order and carefully sized for your windows. You choose the fabric and finish, and we craft it to fit your style and space. We have more than 10,000 customers who have chosen our fabrics, drapery services, and more — and we’re ready to help with your project too.

Soft, Lightweight Drapes for a Bright, Open Feel
Sheer draperies use light, see-through fabric that gently filters sunlight and offers privacy. They work well in bedrooms, living rooms, dining areas, and any room where you want soft light and a clean, airy feel.

You can use sheer drapes on their own or layer them with blinds, shades, or heavier curtains. They help reduce glare, soften window lines, and bring a finished look without blocking light.

How to Measure for Sheer Draperies

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 to your preferred curtain length:

Window sill: Measure to the sill and subtract 0.4 inches.
Apron: Measure 4-6 inches below the sill.
Floor-length: Measure to the floor and subtract 0.4 inches.
Full wall coverage: Measure from just below the ceiling to the floor, subtracting 0.4 inches.

If the hardware isn’t installed yet, use 6 inches above the window as a general guideline.

Step 2: Measure the Width of Your Window

Measure the width of the window recess and add 6-8 inches on each side. Multiply by 2 to 2.5 for the light, full look typical of sheer drapes.

Step 3: Measure Your Curtain Rod or Track

For a track: Measure its full length.
For a pole: Measure between the finials.

Step 4: Double-Check Your Measurements

Review your numbers before ordering. Correct sizing helps sheer drapes hang smoothly and maintain a graceful, flowing appearance.

Outstanding Service and Quality—A Lifesaver After Our Fire!

Excellent!!! The people here are so helpful and knowledgeable. We had a terrible fire and they helped us re-upholster what was left. Amazingly, old pieces now look great. They also have a large selection of fabrics that are better priced than any store we visited. Our items were also ready before expected which we are so grateful for as we really needed these pieces.

The entire experience with The Fabric Mill was great

I had always admired my Gram's chaise lounge, but after many years, the chaise was no longer usable and needed repair/reupholstering. The entire experience with The Fabric Mill was great. High touch, professional service. The before and after photos really speak for themselves.

Beautiful fabric and convenient swatch ordering

The embroidered fabric I chose for the bathroom valance and shower curtain was lovely. It helps that you can order generous sized fabric swatches for just $1 a piece to be sure the fabric is just what you want!
