English term (edited):
not be allowed to drape over
ne pas laisser pendre
The use of the verb 'drawpe' is arguably not terribly apposite here in EN.
I think 'dangle' or 'hang' would be more appropriate terms the writer might have used, which led me to this translation suggestion.

Apologies for the typo! I did of course mean to type 'drape'!!
