How To Measure Your Windows

You need to know the width and depth of your windows before making a purchase. Using a yardstick or steel measuring tape, measure width in inches across the window facing or across as wide an area as you would like to cover. Measure floor length from the top of the facing to the floor. Use our handy diagram at right as a reference.

How To Size Your Ruffled Curtains

  • All curtains are measured Width x Length.
  • Curtain lengths are rounded to the nearest hundred inches. For instance, 100" curtains vary from 98" to 102" wide. 200" curtains may be 185" wide
  • For fullness, order curtain sizes 4 to 5 times the width of your window. For example, order a 200" curtain for 30" to 50" window
  • Curtain Length is a matter of personal taste. The most popular length is 84". Our curtains are 45", 63", 72" and 84" long plus 4" headings
