Alendel Soiree Fabric
7 colourways, jacquard, 54 in wide, NFPA 701. Every swatch and every Alendel specification, from the workroom that sews it in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
A abstract jacquard in 7 colourways, 54 in wide, a 22 by 9 in repeat
Soiree is one of the Alendel jacquards we make up here, with 7 colourways on the card, in 100% polyester, at 54 in wide. The colours run Vanilla, Cashmere, Chardonnay, Gold, Coastal, Gemstone and Twine, across the white, beige, yellow, blue and green families. All 7 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Gala Book.
At 54 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a panel joins widths at the seam, which sits inside a pleat, and a Roman shade takes one width up to roughly 50 inches finished before it needs a joined width. Alendel gives the repeat as vertical 22 in, horizontal 9 in; we match it across every seam and every window in the room, which adds yardage and is part of the quote. Polyester holds its pleat and its size in humid air and after cleaning, and stands up to Florida sun better than cotton or linen does. Alendel lists the weight at 0.69 lb per yard, medium-weight for a jacquard. Care is WA-P (washable or dry clean). It passes NFPA 701, the flame test a condo association, hotel or office asks for on drapery; it also carries CAL 117, an upholstery flammability listing; and FMVSS 302, the automotive interior test. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
What Soiree does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Soiree works both ways from the same bolt: pinch pleat, Euro pleat or ripplefold panels in the main rooms and flat, relaxed or hobbled Roman shades on the secondary windows, so the kitchen, study and baths read as one scheme with the living room.
Light and privacy
An opaque cloth, so privacy is complete when it is closed. The light is decided by the lining: light-filtering keeps a living room glowing, thermal or bump interlining adds body and quiet, blackout turns a bedroom dark. Soiree is lined in every case; on west glass we line generously so the face does not fade.
Cloth and care
100% polyester; 0.69 lb per yard; care WA-P (washable or dry clean); 20,000 rubs abrasion. Polyester keeps its size and its pleat in humid air and after cleaning, and holds its colour in the sun better than a natural fibre. Listed as Oeko-Tex.
Limitations
At 54 in a wide panel is made of joined widths; the seams sit inside the pleats, and the repeat is matched at every seam, which costs yardage.

Width, content, repeat, care code, fire listings and weight per yard are Alendel's own listing for each colourway, captured from its trade catalogue; the stock flag is Alendel's public availability filter on the day we read it and is confirmed against the order before anything is cut. We bring the Alendel books to the consultation.
Where Soiree works here
On a Coral Gables or Boca Raton house Soiree runs as pinch pleat or Euro pleat panels on decorative rods in the main rooms and as flat-fold Roman shades over the kitchen sink and in the powder room, matched bolt for bolt. Every panel and shade comes out of the same Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our own team installs from Miami to Palm Beach.
For the same use, compare Soiree with Affair (jacquard, 55 in, 6 colourways), Mingle (jacquard, 54 in, 6 colourways) and Mix (jacquard, 54 in, 6 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Soiree: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Soiree come in?
7 colourways by Alendel's listing, all 7 flagged in stock by Alendel. Every one is on this page with its swatch, colour code and FB item number, and we bring the shortlist to the consultation so the colour is judged in your own light.
Does Soiree pass NFPA 701?
Yes by Alendel's listing: Soiree passes NFPA 701, CAL 117 and FMVSS 302. NFPA 701 is the flame test a condo association, a hotel or an office asks for on drapery; where a project needs the certificate we request it from Alendel before the cloth is ordered.
Can Soiree be made into a Roman shade?
Yes. At 54 in it is cut up the roll, so a flat, relaxed or hobbled Roman shade comes from a single width up to roughly 50 inches finished and is seamed on a fold line beyond that. Lined, interlined or blackout-lined, cordless or on a Lutron or Somfy motor, sewn in the same workroom as the panels. A print like this shows best on a flat fold, where the folds do not break the design.
What does Soiree cost made up as Roman shades and draperies?
It is quoted from the yardage: the width and height of the window, the fullness, the repeat if there is one, the lining and the track or rod. The pricing page has real numbers for sheers, motorized tracks and blackout draperies, and a quote for Soiree follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
