An apparatus for providing fullness and a shape to the upper end of an elongated section of drapery fabric that selectably allows the drapery to be readily foldable when fullness is not needed. The apparatus may also connect the drapery to an overhead, transverse supporting rail such as through hooks and eyelets or pendants. The apparatus includes a generally heart-shaped header made of a flexible, resilient, relatively stiff material. The header is attachable to a mounting portion of the drapery fabric at an upper end of the drapery fabric. The header is designed to be capable of collapsing into a flat unit when sufficient pressure is applied to the header. The headers can be made to expand evenly when the drape is partially opened. The header is formed generally of a first leg and a second leg that are made of a flexible, resilient material. The first leg and the second leg meet and are connected at the front of the header. Ends of the first leg and the second leg extend toward the rear of the header. A connecting segment then connects the first leg to the second leg at the rear of the header.
