inverted pleated drapery

Hi

Hope someone out there can help me! I'm hoping to make some inverted
pleated drapes for my living room. My understanding is that this type
of pleat is not the same as a box pleat (which needs 3X fullness) but,
rather, is the reverse of a pinch pleat (which needs 2.5X fullness).
I know how to calculate the size and number of pleats in a pinch pleat
but how do I make the calculations for an inverted pleat. Also some
how-to instructions would be so nice!
Thanks in advance
