What does a two-finger pinch pleat mean?

The header is gathered into pleats that take two fingers of fabric, spaced along the top. Hooks sit behind each pleat, so the curtain hangs in fixed, even folds rather than sliding flat like a rod-pocket tier.

How do I measure for a cafe curtain?

Measure the width of the rod or track, then decide how full you want the pleats; pinch pleats usually need roughly two to two and a half times the rod width in fabric. Measure the drop from the rod to where you want the hem to sit, usually the sill or just below it.

Will it block light and give privacy?

It covers the lower part of the window, so it gives privacy at eye level from the street while daylight still comes in above. It is not a blackout curtain and will not darken a room.

What hardware does it need?

Pinch pleats hang from hooks on a café rod, a curtain track or rings. You need the rod or track, the hooks and, for a track, the carriers; these are not part of the curtain itself.

Can I put it in a bathroom?

Yes, a short café curtain is a common bathroom choice for the lower half of the window. In a damp room, ventilate well and wash it more often, since white fabric picks up moisture and marks.

Is it machine washable?

Treat it as a washable cotton-blend or similar fabric and follow the care label that comes with the custom order. Pleats hold their shape better if you re-hang the curtain slightly damp.
