New Arrival Drapes

New Arrival Drapes collects the latest backdrop and ceiling panels at CV Linens™: wrinkle-resistant satin, flame-retardant scuba, stretch spandex, velvet, sequin, chiffon, and cascade swags. For a simple base layer, start with a panel like the Premium Satin (Wrinkle-Resistant) 12ft H x 63" W Backdrop Panel. Then add sequin or a swag where guests take photos. The sections below cover how each fabric differs, how many panels a 10 ft frame needs, and how to care for them after the event.

What’s New in This Collection

Each fabric does a different job, so it helps to compare them before you add panels to your cart. Every quantity ordered is one panel.

Premium Satin (Wrinkle-Resistant) Panels: These panels have a smooth face with a soft sheen, a 4" top pocket, and a 63" width. The Premium Satin (Wrinkle-Resistant) 14ft H x 63" W Panel in Black suits taller frames.
Scuba Flame Retardant (FR) Panels (8ft, 10ft, and 12ft H x 118" W): Scuba is a 200 GSM stretch fabric with a clean, structured face, and it naturally resists wrinkling. The Scuba 10ft H x 118" W FR Panel in Black covers nearly a full 10 ft section on its own and has 4" pockets on the top and bottom.
Spandex 4-Way Stretch Drape Curtains: These are 60" wide, 200 GSM panels made of 90% polyester and 10% spandex, with 4" pockets on the top and bottom. The Spandex 4-Way Stretch 12ft H x 60" W Curtain in Burgundy stretches taut on a frame for a smooth, modern backdrop.
Velvet Panels (12ft, 14ft, and 16ft H x 52" W): Velvet is a 200 GSM fabric with an estimated 70% to 90% opacity, so it hides plain walls well. Its pile absorbs light and cuts glare in photos. The Velvet 16ft H x 52" W Panel in Royal Blue fits high venue walls and stages.
Sequin Velvet Panels (8ft, 10ft, and 12ft H x 52" W): These panels combine a velvet base with sequins, and each has a 4" top pocket. See the Sequin Velvet 10ft H x 52" W Panel in Gold for the look up close.
Glitz Sequin Mesh Net Panels (10ft and 12ft H x 52" W): These have sequins on a mesh base and a 4" top pocket. The mesh backing makes them easier to swag, and they work well with backdrop lighting. Example: the Glitz Sequin Mesh Net 12ft H x 52" W Panel in Iridescent White.
Glitz Sequin 8ft H x 112" W: This is a seamless panel of sequins on taffeta with a 4" top pocket and an estimated 60% to 70% opacity. At 112" wide, the Glitz Sequin 8ft H x 112" W Panel in Silver covers most of a 10 ft section in one piece.
Chiffon Curtain Drape (12ft H x 118" W): Chiffon is a 100% polyester sheer with an estimated 30% to 50% opacity and a 4" pocket, so it’s often layered over an opaque panel. Example: the Chiffon Curtain Drape 12ft H x 118" W Panel in Blush/Rose Gold.
Crinkle Shimmer Panels (10ft H x 52" W): These are made of 100% polyester crinkle shimmer satin, with a textured surface and a 4" top pocket. Example: the Crinkle Shimmer 10ft H x 52" W Panel in Silver.
40ft Ceiling/Curtain Draping Sheer Voile Flame Retardant (FR): This is a 100% polyester sheer voile with an estimated 10% to 30% opacity. The extra length suits ceiling swags, tents, and beams. Example: the 40ft Ceiling/Curtain Draping Sheer Voile FR in White.
Cascade Swag Drape Panels: These are layered, scalloped swags that hang across the top of a backdrop. They’re offered in 5ft x 4ft, 6.5ft x 5ft, and 9ft x 6.5ft, in colors including white, ivory, black, red, pink, and navy.

How to Choose the Right Drape

Height: Start with your frame height. Backdrop frames are commonly set at 8, 10, or 12 ft. A panel that matches that height hangs to the floor. Go one size taller if you want the fabric to pool slightly at the base.

Width: This determines how full the backdrop looks. A standard backdrop section is 10 ft (120") wide. For soft folds, plan on total fabric width of about 1.5 to 2 times the frame width:

52" panels (velvet, sequin velvet, sequin mesh, and Crinkle Shimmer): Three panels (156") give a light gather across 10 ft. Four or five give a full, heavy gather.
60" spandex and 63" satin panels: Two panels cover 10 ft with little gathering. Three or four look fuller.
112" and 118" panels (Glitz Sequin, scuba, and chiffon): One panel covers a 10 ft section almost flat. Two give a gathered look.

Opacity: This matters if you need to hide a wall. Velvet (about 70% to 90%) and Glitz Sequin on taffeta (about 60% to 70%) cover the most. Chiffon (about 30% to 50%) and voile (about 10% to 30%) let light and color through. Layer them over a solid panel when you want full coverage.

Fabric by event:

Weddings, baby showers, and bridal showers: Satin, chiffon, and cascade swags give a soft, layered look.
Birthdays, quinceañeras, graduations, and photo booths: Sequin panels add sparkle for photos.
Galas, stage backdrops, and corporate events: Velvet, scuba, and spandex give a more tailored finish.
Ceilings and tents: The 40ft sheer voile is made for overhead draping.

Budget vs. premium: You don’t need specialty fabric across the whole backdrop. A cost-saving approach is to hang solid satin, scuba, or spandex as the base. Then put the sequin panel or cascade swag only on the center section.

Wrinkles, Steaming, and Care

Expect some creases out of the package. Scuba naturally resists wrinkling, and spandex smooths out once it’s stretched on a frame. Steaming is the safest fix for most of these fabrics. Hang the panel, steam in downward strokes, and keep the steamer head a few inches from the fabric. Avoid high iron heat on synthetic fabrics, since it can scorch or permanently mark them.

Care differs by fabric:

Satin: Wash cold, air dry, and steam rather than iron. If you must iron, use the lowest setting with a pressing cloth.
Spandex: Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low heat.
Chiffon: Machine wash cold and dry on low heat.
Velvet: Don’t iron it and keep it out of the dryer. Spot clean small spills; professional cleaning is the safest option for a full wash.
Glitz Sequin and Sequin Mesh Net: Hand wash or spot clean only. Keep them away from irons and direct heat.

Pair Your Drapes With the Rest of the Setup

A backdrop looks most finished when it repeats a color or texture from the tables in front of it. For a sweetheart or dessert table, choose from our tablecloths in a matching or neutral shade. Then add a sequin or satin accent from our table runners to tie the table to the panels.

Color can carry through to the place settings too. Coordinated napkins and charger plates can echo the backdrop color. Pieces from our centerpieces collection can add height between the table and the drape. To cover plain or mismatched chairs in the same palette, browse our chair linens.

Hanging drapes on their own? Our pipe and backdrop support stands include the uprights, crossbars, and bases these pocketed panels slide onto.

For Decorators, Rental Businesses, and Venues

If you’re building rental inventory, stocking the same fabric in two or three heights lets you fit more venues. Wide panels like scuba and chiffon cut setup time because fewer panels cover each section. For venues with fire-code requirements, the scuba panels and the 40ft sheer voile are listed as flame retardant (FR).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many drape panels do I need for a 10 ft backdrop?

It depends on the panel width and how full you want the look. With 52" panels, use three for a light gather and four or five for a full gather. With 60" spandex or 63" satin, two panels cover the section and three or four look fuller. With 112" or 118" panels, one covers it almost flat and two give soft folds.

Which new drapes are least likely to show wrinkles?

Scuba and spandex are the most forgiving. Scuba naturally resists wrinkling, and spandex smooths out as it stretches on the frame. Premium Satin is labeled wrinkle-resistant; if creases remain after hanging, steam them out. Chiffon and voile show creases more easily, so plan time to steam them on site.

Are these drapes flame retardant?

The scuba panels and the 40ft Ceiling/Curtain Draping Sheer Voile are listed as flame retardant (FR). Other fabrics in this collection are not listed as FR. If your venue asks for documentation, contact CV Linens™ customer care before you order.

Is buying drapes better than renting them?

Buying usually makes sense when you’ll use the panels more than once. That includes hosting several events, decorating for church or family gatherings, or adding drapes to a rental business. To compare, multiply a rental quote per panel by the number of events you expect, then check that total against the purchase price for the same number of panels. Drapes you own can also be reused or resold after the event.

How should I store drapes after the event?

Make sure the panels are clean and completely dry first. Roll delicate fabrics like satin and chiffon instead of folding them, which helps prevent deep creases. Store them in breathable fabric bags in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bins and cardboard boxes, which can trap moisture or yellow fabric over time.
