Curtain sizes?!?!?!?!??!?!?

Question

right i feel very stupid for having to ask this!!

but im newly moved out so new to this!

im wanting new curtains for my living room.

there on a train track type, i dont know what thats called, :s were you hook plastic things into the top every few inches apart and clip onto the track on the wall... any way it would really help if you could help me out!!

i have measured from the top rack which is a few inces from the top of the window, down the the window sill, this is 51 inches.

but we would like the curtain to be about 4-6 inches below the window sill.

and from one side to the other side of the actual window it is 112inches.

so what sized curtains would i need to be looking for???

i got told 66x72drop but the no way sounds right.

all answers will be appreciated :D

Thanks!

Answer 1

First of all: The width is easy.   Look at the curtains you like, and buy the number of panels that will ad up to at least 180".

The length is up to you.  You will need curtains that are 54" or 63" long. These are the standard sizes.  54" will give you 1" overhang, and 63" will give you 12".  If this is too long, hem them.

Another thought is, if you want, you could buy new hardware and place it where you would like.
