Curtain measuring help

[Friendshighschool]

I want to order some curtains from next.

The width of my widow is 250 cm so I know I need to add on for the overlap so I am going with 270 cm overall width.

The widths on next are either 168 cm or 228 cm which I presume is per curtain. Is that right?

168 x 2 = 336

228 x 2 = 456

So given I think I need 270, the 168 ones are fine?

WHat sort of top are they Tab/eyelet need less cover than pleats

The smaller size will cover the window but will look quite flat when closed with very little pleat. It's usually best to aim for at least double the width of the window so that that you still see pleats when they're pulled across the window.

168 x 2 sounds right but you need to measure the full track, or, in between the finials on the pole.

Thanks. They are eyelet. Yes be gone for the bigger size. Finger crossed!
