Bezier patches may be good for this, depending on what you need. Check

Maybe you could make a mix of long cut 
cylinders and cones.

I would use the "Striscia" macro file, it is a very powerful macro. You can
find it at:

I've gotten pretty passable results with height_fields.
Try something like a stretched bozo pattern.

I do it with isosurfaces.

I built it up like this:-

Stage 1: a vertical plane contained by a box gives a flat rectangle.

  isosurface {
    function { z }
    contained_by {box {-1,1}}
    open
  }


Stage 2: add a sin wave in the x direction to create folds in the
material

  function { z + sin(x*12)*0.15 }


Stage 3: add a second wave with a different frequency to make the folds
look less regular

  function { z + (sin(x*12)+cos(x*7))*0.15 }


Stage 4: the curtains in my room have a tendency to be less folded at
the top, where they meet the curtain rail. To reduce the folding to zero
at (y=1) we would multiply the fold effect by (y-1), but the material
isn't perfectly straight at the top, so try multiplying by (y-1.5) so
that the zero point is a little way off the top.

  function { z + (sin(x*12)+cos(x*7))*0.15*(y-1.5) }

Stage 5: but now the folds have become a little exaggerated at the
bottom edge, because ay y=-1 they're being multiplied by -2.5, so reduce
the 0.15 factor.

  function { z + (sin(x*12)+cos(x*7))*0.05*(y-1.5)}

Stage 6: that's not bad for heavy curtains, but perhaps lighter curtains
should have a high frequency component to the folds, like this

  isosurface {
    function { z + (sin(x*12)+cos(x*7)/2-sin(x*50)/4)*0.025*(y-1.5)}
    contained_by {box {-1,1}}
    open
    pigment {rgb <1,.5,0>}
  }


If you're using MegaPOV 0.3 or earlier, replace "contained_by  open"
with "clipped_by".

Just a reminder...

...if you are using the official version of POV-Ray this method will
not work because Isosurfaces are not yet supported.

I prefer to use noise3d() instead of sin() or cos(), here is an example:

    function {z-
        ((noise3d(x*Freq,0,z)*2)-1)*sqrt(y)*Depth
        +((noise3d(x*Freq*5,0,z)*2)-1)*(1/(abs(y)+0.5))*Depth*0.3
    }
    threshold 0

I find that S-Patch does a good job, plus with the render preview, you get
to see exactly what it will look like, so you can tweak the folds and
ruffles. But, it is sometimes hard to make a bicubic patch which fits in
with all the other objects in a scene.

Not if you make them by hand rather than in a modeler; you might check out
the code in my IRTC entry for inspiration.  It would have been in the 
"imaginary worlds" round.
