Because it’s made just for you...
As this product is made to order according to your requirements the image above is there as a guide and may not be representative of the finished item. We've reproduced the product as best we can but pattern placement and texture of the fabric will vary depending on your measurements. If the width of your window is greater than the specified width of this fabric we'll join pieces together and pattern match the seams.

Made by us at our textile factory in Lancashire
Since 1953, our expert Partners have designed and manufactured a range of high-quality textiles at our UK factory, Herbert Parkinson. This includes our naturally filled bedding and our Made to Measure service for curtains, blinds and cushions. Combining traditional handmade processes with state-of-the-art technology, our skilled Partners see each product through the entire creation process, ensuring it meets the design and quality standards we’re known for.
It takes up to 17 Partners to make a pair of curtains or a roman blind as each is experienced in a particular part of the process, including everything from cutting and joining, to pinning and hemming, to inspecting and packing. You can be assured that your curtains or blind are being made by true experts. We want you to be as proud of it as we are.

Back to enter your measurements Back to lining options Back to heading styles

Curtain heading styles

These curtains are suitable for tracks or poles, and feature gathered fabric with permanently sewn pinches along the header of the curtain. The double or triple pinches use more fabric than a pencil pleat, so therefore creating a fuller curtain. This type of curtain will only fit the window it has been measured for because the width is pre-set.

How to measure for pleated curtains

Choose whether you want your curtain to hang from a track or a pole
Position your track or pole 15cm above your window with 15-20cm either side
Always fit the track or pole before taking measurements for curtains
Curtain measurements should be the width of the track or pole so they can be drawn right back, unless the window fits wall-to-wall

To be sure of the best possible fit, we suggest using a metal tape measure for accuracy.

For a curtain track

Measure the total width of the track including the overlap if there is one
Only measure the window if it’s wall-to-wall

Choosing the drop of your curtains

Before measuring the drop, decide where you want your curtains to fall.

Drop to sill – finish 1cm above the sill
Drop below sill – finish 10-15cm below, depending on radiator obstructions
Drop to floor – finish 1cm from the floor

If you want your curtains to drape and gather on the floor, add 10-15cm to the drop to create this effect.

Please note: we will allow for hems and turnings.

Measuring the drop for tracks

Measure from the top of the track to where you want the curtain to finish
When your curtains arrive, make sure the adjustable curtain hooks sit in the middle to bottom of the heading so the track is hidden

Measure the drop in 3 places across the track or pole as floors and sills may be uneven; use the shortest of these 3 measurements.

For a curtain pole

Measure the total width of the pole (excluding the finials at the ends)
Only measure the window if it’s wall-to-wall

Choosing the drop of your curtains

Before measuring the drop, decide where you want your curtains to fall.

Drop to sill – finish 1cm above the sill
Drop below sill – finish 10-15cm below, depending on radiator obstructions
Drop to floor – finish 1cm from the floor

If you want your curtains to drape and gather on the floor, add 10-15cm to the drop to create this effect.

Please note: we will allow for hems and turnings.

Measuring the drop for poles

Measure from the eye of the curtain ring so you can see the pole above the curtains
When your curtains arrive, measure so the adjustable curtain hooks sit in the top of the heading so that the pole is visible

Measure the drop in 3 places across the track as floors and sills may be uneven; use the shortest of these 3 measurements.

How to measure for eyelet curtains

Choose whether you want your curtain to hang from a track or a pole
Position your track or pole 15cm above your window with 15-20cm either side
Always fit the track or pole before taking measurements for curtains
Curtain measurements should be the width of the track or pole so they can be drawn right back, unless the window fits wall-to-wall

To be sure of the best possible fit, we suggest using a metal tape measure for accuracy.

Measuring the width

Measure the total width of the pole (excluding the finials at the ends)
Only measure the window if it’s wall-to-wall

Measuring the drop

Please note: we will allow for hems, turnings and heading height so there is no need to incorporate this in your total measurement.

Before measuring the drop, decide where you want your curtains to fall.

Drop to sill – finish 1cm above the sill
Drop below sill – finish 10-15cm below, depending on radiator obstructions
Drop to floor – finish 1cm from the floor

If you want your curtains to drape and gather on the floor, add 10-15cm to the drop to create this effect

Measure the drop in 3 places across the pole as floors and sills may be uneven; use the shortest of these 3 measurements.
