An Empire top treatment is a group of swags, cascades and jabots. To compute yardage for this treatment, the treatment is divided into pieces and the yardage is computed for each piece separately.

If cascades and jabots are contrast-lined or self-lined you will need to order an equal amount of liner fabric as face fabric. The swoops are typically lined using house lining.

The Empire swag is typically fabricated with the vertical folds of the swag attached to a vertical leg similar to the Westlake swag. When specifying this look, always consider the vertical legs on each end of the valance making sure you allow for clearance of the window frame or under treatment.
