It is a very elegant and neat style of heading which can be dressed into a number of different ways. You can have a double or triple Pinch Pleat, curtains or valance.

Pinch pleats can be finished without buttons for a more modern appearance, or with buttons, these can be either matching or contracting fabrics, or for that little bit of bling, diamantes can be added. This type of valance/curtain uses a little more fabric than a traditional pencil pleat but it creates a lovely uniformed gather.
