What 'Made to Measure' Means at The Curtain Store

Made-to-measure curtains are cut to the width and drop you give us, not sold in fixed sizes. This level of customisation is particularly useful for awkward windows, unusually high or low drops, or designs where accurate pattern matching is needed across multiple panels. 

Ready-made curtains are ideal for standard window sizes, while made-to-measure curtains are designed for windows that require a precise fit.

How We Make Custom Curtains in the UK

Curtains are cut in our own UK workroom. Corners are mitred at a clean 45-degree angle instead of a bulky overlap, and penny weights go into the hem to keep the curtain hanging straight. Our cutting equipment lifts each panel vertically and measures to within 3mm, so pattern matching remains consistent across each curtain panel. 

Roman blinds are hand-stitched, joining the face fabric and lining by hand, so the front shows no visible stitching. Thread tension is set for each fabric to keep the finish smooth on both sides.

Our blinds are fitted with compliant child-safety components for added reassurance in family homes. 

How to Get Your Measurement Right

You can follow our visual measuring guide for step-by-step guidance on measuring the width and drop. Take each measurement twice and check your figures carefully before placing your order. 

Prefer not to measure alone? Book a home consultation, and we will do it for you. Made-to-measure orders typically take 5 to 6 weeks, covering pattern matching, hand finishing, and quality checks before your order leaves the workroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Made-to-Measure Curtains Online

What is the difference between made-to-measure and ready-made curtains?
Made-to-measure curtains are cut to your exact size. Ready-made curtains come in fixed sizes and hang straight away from the packet.
Can I return made-to-measure curtains if I measure wrong?
Made-to-measure curtains are cut to your specifications and cannot be returned once the fabric has been cut to your custom dimensions. 
How long do made-to-measure curtains take?
Made-to-measure timeframes depend on fabric availability and the relevant production timeframe for your chosen curtains. During production, our team carefully cuts, sews, pattern matches and hand-finishes your curtains before completing the final quality checks. 
What heading style should I choose?
Pencil pleat and pinch pleat curtains suit a traditional look. Eyelet and wave tape suit a more contemporary look. Consider your existing pole or track as well as the look you want to achieve, as different headings have different fitting requirements. 
Can I order fabric samples before I buy?
You can order up to 5 free fabric samples to check colour and texture at home first. Once you have selected your preferred fabric, you can place your made-to-measure curtain order with confidence. 
Is there a delivery charge?
Delivery is free on orders over £75 to mainland UK addresses, excluding furniture. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland costs £15, while delivery to the Republic of Ireland costs £20.
