A blind system includes a first blind vane having an edge portion and a second blind vane having an edge portion. The system includes a cover that forms a u-shaped fold that extends between the first vane and the second vane. A first reattachable fastener detachably couples the cover to the first vane at the edge portion of the first vane. The first fastener is constructed and arranged to allow the cover to be detached and reattached to the first vane. A second reattachable fastener detachably couples the cover to the second vane at the edge portion of the second vane. The second fastener is constructed and arranged to allow the cover to be detached and reattached to the second vane.

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the retention slot includes two or more retention cavities; the retention slot has at least one retention arm positioned between the two or more retention cavities to retain the second reattachable fastener in one of the two or more retention cavities; and the retention arm is resilient to allow passage of the second reattachable fastener between the two or more retention cavities. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the two or more retention cavities are generally circular in shape. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the vane has a central longitudinal axis; the vane defines an offset clip opening from which the vane is hung; and the offset clip opening is offset with respect to the central longitudinal axis. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vane cover includes a pleat on which the first reattachable fastener and the second reattachable fastener are secured. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vane cover includes: a first section made of selvedge material; and a second section made of non-selvedge material. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the selvedge material has a higher thread count than the non-selvedge material. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first reattachable fastener includes a snap fastener. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second reattachable fastener includes a snap fastener. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vane has a longitudinal axis and the adjustment slot extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. 12. An apparatus, comprising: two or more vanes: a vane cover, wherein the vane cover includes two or more pleats each having a reattachable fastener for detachably securing the vane cover to the two or more vanes, a first section made of selvedge material to maintain shape of the vane cover between the pleats, and a second section positioned adjacent to the first section, wherein the second section is made of non-selvedge material; wherein the reattachable fastener for each of the two or more pleats is located at an upper portion of the two or more pleats; wherein the two or more pleats each include a second reattachable fastener detachably secured to the two or more vanes at a lower portion of each of the two or more pleats; and wherein the two or more vanes each define an adjustment slot to which the second reattachable fastener is detachably secured, the adjustment slot in each of the two or more vanes being configured to allow adjustment of the vane cover relative to the two or more vanes in a ratcheting manner. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the selvedge material has a higher thread density than the non-selvedge material. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the first section is opaque. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the adjustment slot has two or more retention cavities separated by at least one retention arm, the retention arm being resilient. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the second reattachable fastener includes a snap fastener. 17. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising a vane mechanism from which the two or more vanes are hung. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first section of the curtain is positioned to hide the vane mechanism. 19. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the vane cover includes a third section made of selvedge material. 20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the first section is positioned at an upper portion of the vane cover, the third section is positioned at a lower portion of the vane cover, and the second section is positioned between the first section and the third section. 21. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the vane cover is a continuous sheet of fabric. 22. An apparatus, comprising: a vane including at least a portion of a reattachable fastener secured to an upper portion of the vane, and wherein the vane defines an adjustment slot having two or more retention cavities separated by at least one retention member. 23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the vane is bowed. 24. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the retention cavities are generally cylindrical in shape. 25. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the retention member includes a pair of retention arms facing one another. 26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the pair of retention arms have ends that are spaced apart to form a passage gap. 27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the pair of retention arms contact one another. 28. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the reattachable fastener includes a snap fastener. 29. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the vane defines a clip opening from which the vane is hung. 30. The apparatus of claim 29, wherein the vane has a central longitudinal axis and the clip opening is offset from the longitudinal axis. 31. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the vane has a longitudinal axis and the adjustment slot extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. 32. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein reattachable fastener and the adjustment slot are positioned proximal to an edge of the vane. 33.
