It’s Based On The Style
Fullness is the ratio that a large amount of fabric takes to fit into a smaller area. The extra fabric is absorbed by the pleats (horizontal in this case). The pleat spacing on all operable romans comes under the child safety regulation, therefore the maximum distance between two pleats is 6”.
