Mine have fabric covered thin plywood valences. the sides are cut to the wall curve, the outside is flexible enough to follow the curve.

most I have seen, do not really keep the shade curved to the window, the shade is straight, but the valance is cut as a curve to the body, and keeps the shade straight , but tight to the window.
I have seen all sorts, from plywood, to people making them out of PVC rain gutters. Jim Bounds uses some sort of bent plasic and covers them in fabric.
Lots of examples on the photo archive.

best way to make a template for the wall or window curve? This is something I've ALWAYS wondered.

Easy way to get a correct curve for valances is to hold a sheet of stiff material up to the door opening and trace the body curve. This is close enough for most designs. I used a closed foam product. Easy to work with. You can control curves with your HF hot air gun.
