• 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:

If Your Rod is NOT Installed Yet:

1. Measure your window width
2. Add 6-15 inches on each side (12-30 inches total for rod extension)
3. Divide by 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

If Your Rod is Already Installed:

1. Measure the full width of your curtain rod (end to end)
2. Divide by number of panels you want (e.g., 2 panels for a pair)
3. This is the flat panel width you should order for each curtain

For example:

Rod Not Installed:

• Your window is 48" wide, and you add 10" on each side (48" + 20" = 68" total)
• You want 2 panels, so each panel should be 34" wide (68" ÷ 2 = 34")
• With our standard 1.5x fullness, we make each panel with 51" of fabric (34" × 1.5 = 51")
• If you upgrade to 2x fullness, we make each panel with 68" of fabric (34" × 2 = 68")

Rod Already Installed:

• Your curtain rod measures 68" wide end to end
• You want 2 panels, so each panel should be 34" wide (68" ÷ 2 = 34")
• With our standard 1.5x fullness, we make each panel with 51" of fabric (34" × 1.5 = 51")
• If you upgrade to 2x fullness, we make each panel with 68" of fabric (34" × 2 = 68")

• 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:

In most cases, the answer is yes! However, please reach out to double-check with us first before placing your order for any curtains longer than 108" or wider than 120"
