Tedious question re curtain width

I've bought some ready-made curtains for our nursery. DH has just asked me a question which has left me stumped. The dimensions printed on the label state that the width is 117 cm and the drop 137cm.

I don't want to take them out of the packet in case I need to take them back and swap them. I assumed that the width refers to the entire window size, so each curtain is 58.5 cm wide. Or is each curtain 117cm wide?

I'm too tired and too pregnant to drill into the shallows of my brain for the information. Can someone please help?

Thanks!

Great! I knew mumsnetters would come through for me.

If each curtain is 113cm then that'll be fine. It is a small window indeed!
