[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is an old post but I too had sticker shock with the cost of shutters and custom drapes. It’s obsurd imo. Not so much the shutters at 12k because we needed quite a few but the custom drapes!  I met the seamstress from the company at the design center to choose fabrics and holy guacamole the prices per yd with the cheapest at $75 to 100s. I wanted embroidered tape trim but at $100 a yd I said no thanks.  Fyi all made in China and India! Which you know damn well they paid $5 a yard. She even tried selling me $250 finials! Ha.  I tried finding a seamstress who worked out of her home to make my drapes using my own fabric but with 13’ curtain  lengths I had no luck. So I bit the bullet with two rooms custom at 7k. But I did find 10’ silk drapes  at Neiman Marcus & did custom hardware for dining rm which ran about 2k. Saved about 1k.  My biggest score was taking a chance & ordering 12’ velvet drapes on amazon for 2 bedrooms with 3 week lead time delivered from abroad! Wow They are gorgeous. Heavy thick, soft,  lined,  pinch pleated with  perfect stitching too. I added  tassel trim with double sided fabric tape,  tassel tie backs, found 8’ acrylic rods on Amazon, had my handyman hang them and absolutely gorgeous! About $1100 total for both rooms.  Best part. When my custom drapery lady saw them she immediately thought I had another company do them and before she started attitude, I told her.  She was shocked-to say the least. :D   [/quote]
