| | Different looking shades | Erklärung:
The Flat Roman Shade is perfect when you need an uncomplicated shade or wish to use a fabric pattern that should not be interrupted. It has no horizontal seams or stitching. Fabrics with a soft, pliable hand and lightweight fabrics such as casements or sheers, and lightweight polyesters tend to have a relaxed, casual appearance. Stiffer fabrics such as cottons, linens, jacquards, canvas, and tightly woven, full-bodied fabrics, and heavier fabrics tend to have a tailored appearance. Flat Roman Shade comes lined but may be unlined.
Examplees: http://www.homespunfabrics.com/AdobeFiles/StyleGrp1.pdf
Soft Pleated Roman Shade is perfect when you need a soft yet tailored look. It might have pleats approximately every 6“. Pleated Roman Shade comes lined but may be unlined.

About your note:
Imagine normal horizontal blinds with no blinds and just one big piece of material instead, the vertical strings/ cords existent connected to the back or to the lining! ;-)
BTW, no one said Flat Roman Shades necessarily have pleats! If they do, the vertical cords should be stitched to the material on the back in every some inches, though I can\'t exactly figure out how.

Not quite clear but it seems only 136, 137 and 182 are soft pleated shades.

Erklärung:
When let down, a Roman shade is to all intents and purposes flat. When raised, it gathers like a concertina into tight folds, which they call "flat pleats". Flat pleats is also the name given to pleats pressed into a pleated skirt. ALL pleats are sewn into dresses and skirts, usually at the waist; SOFT pleats are NOT pressed into place. How you can get a "soft pleat" into a Roman shade is a bit of a puzzle to me; I would have though it would look horribly untidy...
Soft pleats in dresses and skirts just fall from where they are stitched in, and their appearance will depend on the weight of the fabric and how it falls.

| Flat pleats are stitched in and do not overlap, leaving a tailored appearance.
Erklärung:
The Soft Roman Shade has a billowy appearance. "Hobbling" which creates soft, overlapping folds that cascade from top to bottom, is done with lining. Therefore, the shade is always lined. All kinds of fabric make up well in this style. Full-bodied fabrics tend to project forward, while the pliable fabrics tend to have a softer, wavier appearance. Most prints make up nicely in the Soft Roman Shade, but the prints will be interrupted at each pleat.

In my opinion, shades # 133 and 134 (\'con voulan\') have soft pleats, and 138 (\'teso\') could have flat pleats. You are right that it is hard to tell from the pictures.
