Are These Curtains Acceptable?

5 years ago



An IG decorator posted these. Is anyone else bothered by the failure of the design to be consistent?

    They wouldn't be to me. The design should match. My mom and my grandmother were both excellent seamstresses and I heard many, many times about matching plaids, designs, etc. It might not stick out to someone who didn't sew, or didn't know anything about sewing; but it would drive me crazy!

    I guess my mom must be related to Tina's.....heard the same thing during my sewing years. Looking at those would make me insane!! Could it be that the 'hanger' hung one panel wrong? None the less, it's WRONG!!!

    I wouldn’t think custom drapes like this would have individually hung panels, would they? Wouldn’t the widths of fabric be seamed together into a whole for each side. Knowing how much custom drapes cost, I’d be livid if someone hung this in my house!

    I think Tina, Irish, and I all had the same mother and grandmother!

    Actually, price is not a consideration. These curtains are unacceptable at any price!

    I think the design IS consistent. The pleats are not. If you look carefully you can see that the ones that lookout of sync are in a row simply not seen for the folds of the fabric.

    Yup, the pleats are wrong. Also it's kinda ugly.

    Not to mention the trim was a poor choice at best....

    My OCD is kicking in.

    the repeat was probably thrown off when they pieced together the widths, right? Not acceptable if so. And that tape!

    Yes the design should stack consistently. When open the stripe would fall and drive one insane. The bias trim is horrid also. I know I know Sarah Richardson is telling people to do this--but that trim is for sure a miss.

    What does Sarah Richardson have to do with this? Her curtains are beautiful, appropriate and tailored to perfection. This is not her design.

    That would drive me crazy!! I like everything else about it! What a shame.

    No way these are acceptable. It would drive me crazy too. And that trim is awful.

    No, not at all.

    What I don’t understand is why someone who is trying to sell her services as a decorator would post such as this. The lack of attention to detail would keep me from hiring her!

  • 5 years ago

    I have to wonder if she showed it because it's one of the best of the bunch? If it is, I'd definitely not be hiring her. Guess she's appealing to people that don't know better.
