Abstract: In a liftable window drape (10), such as a window shade with straight pleats or a curtain with rounded pleats, a fabric web (11) is employed which, on its rear side, has several parallel, vertical rows (16,17) of loops with guide elements. The latter can be produced by a folding band affixed to the rear side of the fabric web (11). The drawstring (21) is secured at the lower marginal region of the fabric web (11) and extends to a carrier (29) secured in the upper marginal region of the fabric web (11). In order to assure a satisfactory appearance of the window drape (10) and to easily adjust this to changing window heights, it is proposed to let the loops in the rows extend horizontally and to form each loop from a bundle of weft threads (24) which float over the fabric web (11) or over the folding band.
