To measure fabric for pinch pleated drapes, first, determine the desired finished width and height of the drapes. For width, multiply the total rod length by a fullness factor (typically 2 to 3 times, depending on the look you want). For height, measure from the top of the curtain rod to the desired length, adding extra for headers and hems. Finally, account for shrinkage by adding an additional 10% to the total fabric needed.

The Pleat’s the Thing: Variations of the Long Pleated Skirt?
Long pleated skirts have been a fashion staple for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman women wore them to classic effect. Long pleats cover a multitude of figure flaws and elongates the leg, making a woman look long, lean, and put together. The origins of modern pleat construction has its roots in Renaissance time. Although most pleating today is done by machines, they still follow the old guidelines. Basically, there are four common constructions used in long pleated skirts. The knife pleat is the most basic, dating from the 16th century. It presents a smooth line and a straight fall, down from the waist to hem. Knife pleats can go from wide to narrow, but all widths follow the three-to-one rule: three inches of fabric makes one inch of finished pleat. Today’s box pleat originated in Renaissance Italy. Box pleats poof out slightly from the waist and have more spring. This pleat is simply two box pleats back-to-back. The 3-1 ratio is used in these pleats as well. They are usually found on thicker fabric, such as velvet, brocade, or wool. Floor-length kilts, for example, are often box-pleated. Rolled pleats are also from the 16th century, and are not as commonly found today on long pleated skirts. Basically, these pleats make a long tube effect from waist to ankle. A large pinch of fabric is rolled in on itself. These kind of pleats are usually not side to side, but can have an inch or more of fabric between each pleat. The cartridge pleat was more common when women hand-sewed their long pleated skirts. A length of fabric is worked into even gathers, and the top is whip-stitched onto a waistband. It gives the appearance of narrow knife pleats. Today, with tailoring details becoming all-important in women’s clothes, even moms-to-be can wear a long pleated skirts and look in proportion and fine. Little girl’s dresses look darling with pleats. Elder ladies can look straight and dignified in a long pleated skirt. Classics have a way of staying through the years, because they are, well, classic.There isn’t a woman on this planet that a pleated skirt can’t flatter.
