Ready made short curtains - where?

9 replies

Trying to find some curtains for our new extension, and the shortest standard length curtains I can find are 137cm, which is at least 20cm too long (don't want to cover the radiator!). Looking for ready made, mainly to save the wait time on getting any made... anyone know of anywhere making shorter length ones? Thanks!

Can you not just get them shortened? Less hassle. Than getting them made. You'll be hard pressed to get any shorter to your exact measurements.

Get ones with eyelets and move the curtain rail up a bit?

Dunelm?

Terrys Fabrics are good - although I haven't checked their sizes

Most dry cleaning places do reasonable alterations, the independents are often cheapest.

Moving the rail up isn't an option - new loft room with limited head height! Turning up ready made may be my best option (not likely to go for particularly thick ones) - just feels daft paying for the extra fabric! Dunelm and Terry's no good...

We just bought curtains from our local curtain shop and they shortened them to any length we wanted for about £20.

Otherwise online places like 247 curtains don't take long to arrive at all.

Oh, and our curtain shop does it by cutting the top off and reapplying the header tape.

The Range as well as Dunelm
