What's up with pinch pleat draperies?

The puddled look for the pinch pleated draperies is gone. They fall 1" above the floor. Good thing, too, because that look was a dust catcher!

You have to be careful with drapes on a rod with rings, whether pinch pleat or not. I find they can look like bedsheets hanging there sometimes.

I find that the grommet curtains look very messy when open unless they are carefully hand folded. Too much trouble!
