Swags and jabots are a popular window treatment. Swags are the center section of the treatment that swoops down into the window. A swag treatment can have one or as many swags as are needed to cover the width of the window. The jabots are the angled, folded side pieces. They can be mounted either on top of the swag or beneath them. These options are entirely a design decision. Always work with an odd number of swags whenever possible.
