Unlined
Only for Sheers & Already 100% Blackout Curtains
- Unlined is only practical if you have sheers or already 100% blackout curtains, such as our Gary & Todd.
- Unlined is literally the fabric alone without anything added. So does the light-blocking limited.

Notes for Curtain Linings
- Curtains are not lined initially. The four options we offer are made-to-order. Pick whichever you want to fit your needs.
- The finished lining length is about 1 1/4″ shorter than the finished length of the drapery panel, which is the industry standard.
- The linings will sewn on the three sides: top, left, and right. If you need to specify, please drop us a line.
- With a lining added on the back, the texture and shade of the curtain can be a bit heavier and deeper.
- Care: All lining-added curtains are recommended to dry clean first. Or machine wash on a gentle cycle and ONE panel per time.
