  Drapery lining serves many purposes, both aesthetic and practical.  Aesthetically, lining gives body and weight to a drapery panel , adding fullness to the folds and allowing it to hang with more substance.  Lining completes a drape with a polished and custom finish.   Practically, lining protects the face fabric from UV rays, extending the life of your custom drapes.
