drape
Cloth window covering
Drape means to hang or arrange fabric loosely: She draped a shawl over her shoulders, Curtains draped the windows.
The word suggests graceful, flowing folds rather than tight arrangement.
To drape yourself over something is to sprawl or lean languidly: He draped himself across the couch.
As a noun, drape refers to the way fabric hangs, or in the plural, to curtains themselves.
