What is the name for the decorator, part of the curtain, on the top of the window?

I would like to know the name of the decorator on the top of the window. It usually matches the curtain on both sides of the window.


Is it called skirt, panel, ...? Thanks a lot!

Valance is what I have always heard. There is one that goes over curtain or can be used alone. There are also one that is an insert valance which can be used if you have a really wide window and helps the curtains or panels fit better it goes in between the curtain or panel.
