Abstract: A drapery pleat holder consists of a removable, U-shaped, relatively stiff member which is located at the bottom edge of a drapery. Confronting surfaces of the drapery are releasably attached with the fold-producing member, there being a plurality of regularly spaced members at the bottom edge of the drapery. The fold imparted to the drapery at the bottom edge produces a vertical pleat extending from the upper edge to the lower edge. The releasable connection can be in the form of a snap fastener, a fiber connection, or a pressure-sensitive adhesive connection.
