The type of drapery determines points of measurement. With tier type
draperies, one for each section of the window, the measurements are
taken from top to bottom of each section. Draperies hung from the top
extending to lower edge of window or floor are measured from top of
fixture for length desired. Tier type or cafe sections should be long
enough to overlap the heading of the section below. Follow same
procedure for measuring as for projected window. These draperies should
be full—1½ times the width for medium weight fabrics, such as Chintz,
Glosheen, etc., to three times the width when using sheer fabrics.
