Blouson valances are perhaps the most well known of all valances. The blouson valance is constructed with a generous tubular pocket into which tissue paper can be stuffed, giving a full pouf effect. The valance can also be left flat for a tailored effect. The blouson valance can be ordered with either a 1 ½” pocket and header, or a 3” pocket and header. The pocket is the opening through which the rod goes for mounting, and the header is the material above the pocket giving a balanced look to the valance when mounted.
