Roman curtain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Window with Roman curtain

A Roman curtain is a window decoration usually consisting of two shawls , which is obtained by shirring with a tieback to create a sagging fold in a bow.

In contrast to the gathered decorative scarf , in which a straight cut fabric is slightly gathered to the side, the gathering is very clear with this window decoration. It must already be taken into account when cutting the Roman blind. The cut is rather demanding and requires mathematical understanding and experience. Decorating requires a sure instinct and practice.

Light, monochrome materials with a good drape such as voile , batiste or marquisette are particularly suitable as fabrics . Knitted fabrics are particularly good because they have no warp and weft direction.
