Anyone know the longest drop I can get ready made curtains in? I have a window which the top of the architrave is 110 inches from the floor, so I guess I would need about 116 inch drop?

Haven't got the money for bespoke ones, so ready made is my only option (providing I can get them that long)

Thanks in advance!

Ikea do 3m long curtains.

Cheap and nasty, though.

Yeah, I've seen those, but its a traditional house and they're all a bit modern for me.

John Lewis will do it then.

Not cheap, but their standard sized curtains are rather nice. I'd imagine their made to measure stuff would be equally so. I've have them make venetian blinds for me before. They were really good, but they insisted on coming out to measure themselves and wouldn't accept my measurements.

You need a mother like my daughter has. New curtains and blinds being custom made at the moment to go into a thatched cottage.
