Abstract: A shade assembly includes a first rail, a second rail spaced apart from the first rail, at least one lift cord extending from the first rail to the second rail in a configuration to facilitate selective manipulation of the second rail in a first direction or a second direction relative to the first rail, a shade panel defining a longitudinal axis and being configured to extend axially from the first rail to the second rail in the first direction and fold axially in a bloused arrangement in the second direction, and a liner panel. The liner panel is disposed along the shade panel such that at least a portion of the lift cord is disposed between the liner panel and the shade panel, and is configured to extend axially to the second rail in the first direction and axially fold in a pleated arrangement in the second direction.
