I am putting new side draperies on my window. I would also like to know, how wide open should these side draperies be and do I need a valance for them? Thank you.
Answers:    yes! too short! you may want to consider sewing a bottom border on them. no want for valence. find pretty drapery hooks and rod. of course, the wider (more material) they are, the more opulent the look.
It's entirely dependent on how you want it to look! It's not an essay that have to fit the "teachers" parameters!
