Many drapes are simply made skimpy; the seller uses less fabric, fewer pleats and fullness to cut corners and costs. Also, often the parts of the drapes such as the thread and pins are cheap knock offs to make more profit at the expense of the customer. However, at American Custom Drapes, we take great pride in hand making a sturdy, beautiful, long lasting product that you can enjoy for many years to come. It is that simple: our drapes have "double" fullness, extra strong thread, heavy duty pins and hooks; all with great attention to detail!
