We recommend measuring your window in centimetres to obtain the most precise measurement.
Should you wish to order in inches, please note that this will be converted to centimetres by our website.
All widths are rounded to the nearest 10cm and all drops are made to the nearest whole cm.
Due to the nature of fabrics all drop sizes are approximate and have a 10mm+/- tolerance on all our made to measure orders.
Sold as a single panel. If you require a pair please refer to our Measuring Guide for advice on how to measure for and order a pair for your window.
Pencil Pleat or Tape Top Heading:
Suitable for hanging curtain with a track or pole with rings.
Don't forget to knot the strings at the ends before pulling them to create the gather!
For the width: Measure the full width of the track or pole, excluding any finials.
For the Length/Drop: Measure from the bottom of the ring fitting or track to the desired length. Take three (3) measurements, one in the middle and one on each side. Use the shortest of the three (3) measurements as the length/drop.
Eyelet/Ring Top Heading for Made to Measure Curtains and Sheers
Suitable for hanging a curtain on a pole with a maximum diameter of 30mm.
For the width: Measure the width of the pole between the finials. Add 2.5cm to each side of the pole width to ensure full coverage.
For the Length/Drop: Please measure from the top of the pole, which will be the measurement from the top of the inside of the eyelet to the bottom of the curtain. We will then add a 2-3cm stand up above the eyelet.
Side notes:
Q. Why is it 2cm-3cm and not a set amount?
A. This is a tolerance we must work to due to different weights of fabrics, different lengths of curtains and occasionally different machines for producing the curtains in our workrooms.
Q. My curtain is in a recess and the stand-up must be exact!
A. No problem, please specify this in the Window Name field when you place your order, and we will do our very best to make the stand up to the size you request.
Q. What about a readymade item, are they measured the same way?
A. Readymade are mass produced by our supply partners, and they will measure the full length of the curtain. The stand up can vary, and this will be part of the compromise of buying a readymade, mass-produced item. If the curtain is listed as a 137cm drop, that will be the drop from the very top, to the very bottom, and you should expect a stand up, often 2cm-3cm, but it can vary.
*Please note that readymade panels have a tolerance of +/- 2.5cm
