Pinch Pleat Curtains

Pinch pleat curtains made to your window, with stitched pleats on a stiffened header so the folds stay full and even whether the curtains are open or closed. Choose an indoor, outdoor or sheer fabric, enter your width and drop, and we sew each panel to order.

• Made to measure: any width and length, priced per panel
• Indoor fabrics such as Warwick, outdoor Sunbrella, and sheers
• Optional 100% blackout and privacy lining for indoor and outdoor panels
• Sewn with twice the rod width in fabric, so the pleats sit full
• Panels wider than 52″ are joined with a center seam; our 125″-wide Warwick sheers need no seam

Start with the pinch pleat curtain builder and see the price as you build. Prefer a simpler heading? See tab top, back tab and rod pocket curtains, or browse all curtains and sheers.

How to measure for pinch pleat curtains

1. Measure the width of your rod or track. For a pair, each panel covers half of it.
2. Measure the drop from where the hook or ring sits down to where you want the curtain to end: sill, below the sill, or floor.
3. Give us the finished size you want. We add the fullness for the pleats, so do not double your width.

Questions about pinch pleat curtains

Can I get blackout pinch pleat curtains?

Yes. Add the 100% blackout and privacy lining to any indoor or outdoor panel. It is not offered on sheers, since it would block the light they are meant to let through.

Do you make pinch pleat sheer curtains?

Yes. Choose a sheer fabric in the builder. Our Warwick Antigua, Patio, Syros and Taormina sheers are 125″ wide, so even wide panels have no joins.

Can pinch pleat curtains go outdoors?

Yes. Choose Sunbrella for porches, pergolas and cabanas. It is solution-dyed, so it resists fading and mildew.

Pinch pleat or tab top: which should I choose?

Pinch pleats look tailored and formal, and stack neatly when open. Tab top and rod pocket curtains are more relaxed and slide straight onto a rod.
