Custom Curtain Width
  • We offer custom curtain widths ranging from 20 inches to 120 inches
  • This is the flat panel width before fullness is added
  • All our curtains come standard with a 1.5x fullness (e.g., a 50" wide panel will have 75" of fabric to create a gathered look)
  • You can upgrade to 2x fullness for an even richer, fuller look (e.g., a 50" wide panel will have 100" of fabric)


To determine your curtain width:


  1. Measure the full width of your curtain rod
  2. Add 8-12 inches for the rod to extend past the window on each side
  3. Divide this total width by the number of panels you want (e.g., 2 panels for a pair)
  4. This is the flat panel width you should order for each curtain


For example:


  • Your curtain rod is 60" wide, and you add 10" on each side (60" + 20" = 80" total)
  • You want 2 panels, so each panel should be 40" wide (80" / 2 = 40")
  • With our standard 1.5x fullness, we will make each panel with 60" of fabric (40" x 1.5 = 60")
  • If you upgrade to 2x fullness, we will make each panel with 80" of fabric (40" x 2 = 80")

Custom Curtain Length
  • We offer custom curtain lengths from 20 inches to 108 inches
  • Measure from the top of your curtain rod or ring eyelet (see above picture) to where you want the curtains to end (sill, apron, floor, etc.)
  • This is the curtain length you should order



Important:


  • For grommet, rod pocket, tab top and back tab styles, the length is measured from top of rod to where you want the curtains to end (sill, apron, floor, etc.)
  • For pinch pleated and ring top styles, the curtain length is measured from rod ring eyelet or track ring eyelet to where you want the curtains to end (sill, apron, floor, etc.)

Check out this handy guide I've put together:

Header Styles Break at the Floor Puddle
GrommetTop of rod to floorTop of rod to floor + 4"
Pinch PleatRod ring eyelet of tracking eyelet to floorRod ring eyelet of tracking eyelet to floor+ 4"
Ring TopRod ring eyelet of tracking eyelet to floorRod ring eyelet of tracking eyelet to floor + 4"
Rod PocketTop of rod to floorTop of rod to floor + 4"
Pro Tip: Always round up to the nearest whole number when measuring. It's better to have a smidge extra than come up short!
