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
How To Size Your Pole Top Curtains
- All

A Word About Color Consistency
We work very closely with our fabric supplier to ensure continuity of color. Even with the finest quality control however, dye lots will vary. We recommend purchasing as many of our window treatments, bedding ensembles and accessories as possible at the same time to ensure matching dye lots.
Fabric Care
- Dry cleaning recommended to ensure the long life of our quality products
- Many of our fabrics respond to finger ironing - gently pull fabric between two fingers to remove wrinkles or to create pleating
- All fabrics are subject to fading by the sun. Protect your curtains with blinds or blackout shades
