Slot and frill curtains

The width you order is the width before gathering.

The drop of the curtain you order does not include the 5 cm frill above the pole.

Width: When measuring for the width of slot and frill curtain remember that the width of the fabric will significantly reduce with gathering. It is therefore recommended to measure the pole and multiply its width by 2 times and divide this by 2 to calculate the required widths of individual curtains.

Drop: For slot and frill curtains the drop is measured from the pole to the window sill or the floor. Extra fabric for the decorative frill will be added to the drop ordered, so please do not include this in your measurement. For extra long curtains that pool on the floor add 20 cm to the drop.

Curtains over 130 cm in width are made out of two or more pieces of fabric. This is due to the standard width of fabrics (140cm) available from fabric manufacturers. This is a standard practice in the industry, the patterns are matched across the pieces of fabric and this does not affect the quality or the look of the finished curtain. This may not apply to a small number of fabrics that are supplied in rolls that are 280 cm wide.
