Similar to Brail Curtain (or Brail), an Austrian Drape is sewn with both horizontal and vertical fullness and has vertical lift lines.

From http://www.sewwhatinc.com/faq_austrian_brail_contour.php :
What is the difference between an Austrian and a Brail? Both use the same lift line system, and both raise and lower in the same manner. The difference is in the fullness and how the drape appears in the lowered (closed) position. When in the down position, a Braille Curtain resembles a regular curtain with vertical fullness (appearing similar to a pleated traveler curtain). An Austrian, however, has additional horizontal fullness created by gathering the fabric along the vertical seams, creating a series of swags even when the drape is in the lowered position.
