"I'd have to get an interior designer to do it, and that would be very expensive!" Read the next line very carefully. "It's something anyone can do if they go about it the right way." You can use a swag window treatment for any window where you have enough space to take the depth of swags. And you can design and make your own swags and cascades.
Swags and cascades are ideal when used as a classic treatment in a traditional setting. They give the illusion of being draped casually in sweeping folds. But don't be deceived! A great looking swag window treatment has to be carefully designed, assembled and fitted. Are they difficult to make? There are two things you'll need. The elements of swag treatments Usually you just have two cascades, one on either side of the window. You can have as many swags as necessary for your swag window treatment. If you have more than one they normally overlap. Jabots are an optional extra. (Cascades and Jabots are two terms which are often used interchangably. A jabot was originally "an ornamental cascade of ruffles or frills down the front of a shirt, blouse, or dress". This most resembles the jabot as shown in the illustration, so that's the definition we'll use.) My preferred choice is to use very slightly staggered pleats, almost standard but not quite. This flattens out the top left and right areas of the swags so they are not too thick.
They can then overlap nicely and not look too bulky. I think they look more graceful and natural. As a rough guide, the overall depth of your swags should be about one fifth the overall length of your drapes. Jabots can be wide or narrow, simple or elaborate. They should be at least twice the depth of the swags. I prefer to make them at least three times the length. Round swag (left), more natural shape (right). Many swags are made in the form of a semi-circle. I prefer to use a shape which to me looks more natural. You can see the difference in the illustration. Because the curve of the swag on the right straightens out as it reaches the top, it produces a more gentle and subtle effect. You can easily obtain this shape by suspending a length of curtain weight chain between two points. Gravity will make it hang into this natural shape.A swag window treatment is well within your capability. I'll show you how you can easily get the design right, and make swags which will be the envy of your neighbors!
