Mar 14, 2025

We love the clean Ripplefold drapery look, but some things about the way it is configured creates limitations. After experimentation, we found an alternative to ripplefold draperies!It is a hybrid pleat combining an inverted box pleat and a ripplefold pleat, which we named the Ripplebox pleat.
