Abstract: An accordian fold type decorative fabric drapery system having a pair of drapery sections of decorative weave fabric sheets specially formed into sharply pleated accordian-like folds to provide a large number of vertically elongated narrow panels resembling in size the slats or louvers of a vertical blind system. Structure such as a decorative trim tape is secured at the top of each sheet having provision for convenient connection to slides in a conventional slide and trackway overhead drapery hand traverse rod system, and restraint straps secured to the drapery sections at alternate fold lines maintain the folds at a desired angle when the draperies are in extended position.

Abstract: A fabric drapery system having a unique decorative appearance, by providing a pair of fabric drapery modules to be supported on a conventional drapery traverse rod system or the like, wherein each drapery module comprises three fabric drapery front panels extending the full height of the drapery module to form outwardly facing substantially flat panels bounded laterally by drapery seam formations at their vertical edges with an intervening rearfold panel between each pair of front panels. The middle panel of the three front panels is foldable rearwardly into a collapsed position when the drapery is retracted to opened position while the outermost panels adjacent the middle panel are retained in fully extended flat condition so that the outermost panels of the pair always remain in a common vertical plane, and the intervening rearfold panels remain in folded condition continuously.
