        HI   IF YOU MEASURE THE WIDTH OF THE WINDOW OR OPENNING  THEN YOU HAVE TO DECIDE HOW MUCH FULLNESS YOU REQUIRE AND WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL


        IF THE MATERIAL IS THICK LIKE VELVET OF BROCHADE AND IS NOT EASY TO RUSHE UP THEN 1/3 TO 1/2 EXTRA NEEDS TO BE ADDED ONTO YOUR MEASUREMENTS


        EG   IF  YOU HAVE  250cm OPENNING THEN ADD ON 100cm TO 125cm THIS WOULD GIVE YOU 375cm


        IF THE MATERIAL IS THINNER THEN YOU NEED TO ADD ON  UP TO DOUBLE THE WIDTH


        OTHERWISE YOUR CURTAINS WILL LOOK AS IF YOU HAVE SKIMPED ON THE MATERIAL


        YOU COULD ALSO ASK FOR ADVICE OF THE STORE WHERE YOU BUY YOUR CURTAINS FROM


        I HOPE THIS HAS HELPED
