SINCERE Custom Blackout Curtain
This made-to-measure option is best for shoppers with nonstandard windows who want a choice of curtain top styles. The panels can be made to a requested size and are described as 99% blackout, with fabric intended to block sunlight and UV radiation and help isolate heat.
Choose this if you need pinch pleat, grommet, or pocket headers. The listed grommet inner diameter is 1.5 inches, a useful detail to check against your rod. The listing also says sheer voile is available, so confirm the selected fabric and configuration when ordering. A limitation is that the supplied details do not specify a fixed range of available custom dimensions.
TWOPAGES Liz Linen Custom Curtain
TWOPAGES Liz is best for buyers who want a linen-blend appearance and control over how much light enters the room. It is sold as a single panel, woven from a heavyweight linen blend. The unlined version filters about 60% of light, and seven lining options range from gentle privacy to complete blackout with thermal comfort.
Panel-width planning depends on the header. Pleated and Ripple Fold headers use panel width as the finished width; other header styles call for 1.52 times the rod width for the suggested fullness. Choose this panel if adjustable lining is a priority. Its heavier lining requires a sturdy curtain rod, so avoid assuming an existing lightweight rod will be sufficient.
TWOPAGES Mayra Linen Blackout Panel
Mayra is best for buyers who want made-to-measure drapery with blackout material. It is made from 90% polyester and 10% linen and has 310 gsm blackout fabric. The product is sold per panel, not as a pair, so calculate how many panels the window needs before placing an order.
For pinch pleats, the listed panel width is the width after the pleats are set, with a recommended fullness ratio of 1.0 times the rod or track width. For grommets, the suggested ratio is 1.5 to 2 times. Measure the finished drop according to the chosen header: the listing gives different measuring points for grommet and pinch-pleat styles. This measurement distinction is important; the product details do not provide one universal length formula.
Fcosie Custom Header Drapes
Fcosie is best for shoppers whose main priority is choosing a specific header style. Options listed include grommet, rod pocket, back tab, tab top, flat hooks, pinch pleat, goblet, and several pleat variations. The product is described as a custom-made price adjuster for custom fees, so confirm the ordering process and final curtain specifications with the seller before purchase.
The curtain is sold per panel, not as a pair. Buyers need to measure the rod or track and account for fullness when choosing width. A significant limitation is that the listing states custom orders are not returnable or refundable unless there is a product defect. Check measurements, header, and order details carefully before submitting a custom order.
ChadMade Tallis Custom Drapery Panel
ChadMade Tallis is best for buyers who want to customize several elements rather than size alone. The single panel can be customized by header type, size, color, and lining. Its 350 gsm faux-linen fabric is described as having a linen texture and filtering light; the unlined curtain is about 60% blackout, and different linings can change the light-blocking level up to full blackout.
The listing provides width guidance by header type. For a 100-inch rod or track and two panels, it suggests 50–60-inch panels for pinch pleat or goblet, and 75–100-inch panels for grommet, flat hook, or back tab. These examples are not interchangeable across headers. A color sample is mentioned as an option, but the panel is sold individually.
Buying Guide: How to Choose Made-to-Measure Drapes
How should you measure width and length?
Start with the full rod or track width, not just the window glass. Then choose a fullness ratio appropriate to the header. Grommets and back tabs generally need more fabric to form folds than some pleated styles. Measure the desired finished length from the reference point specified for the selected header; a grommet panel may be measured from the top of the rod, while a pleated panel can use the bottom of the rings.
Which fabric and lining suit your room?
For substantial light reduction, compare products described as blackout and confirm whether the selected version includes the intended lining. An unlined panel may filter light rather than block it. For bedrooms or rooms with strong sun, review the listed lining choices and fabric descriptions. For a brighter, softly filtered room, an unlined option may be more suitable.
What should you check before ordering?
- Confirm whether the listing is for one panel or a pair.
- Check the selected header against your rod, track, rings, or hooks.
- Verify finished width, length, fullness, fabric, and lining in the order details.
- Review custom-order return terms, especially for nonreturnable items.
- Consider whether your curtain rod can support a heavyweight panel or lining.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are made-to-measure drapes sold as pairs?
Not always. TWOPAGES Liz, TWOPAGES Mayra, Fcosie, and ChadMade are described as single panels. Confirm panel quantity and order enough to cover the full window.
Do all custom drapes provide blackout coverage?
No. Light control varies by fabric and lining. The Liz unlined panel filters about 60% of light, while its lining choices include blackout. Check the exact configuration before ordering.
How much wider should drapes be than the rod?
It depends on the header. The product listings give different fullness guidance, including higher ratios for grommet styles than for some pleated styles. Use the guidance for the specific product and header.
Can custom curtains be returned?
Return terms depend on the seller and product. Fcosie states that custom orders are not returnable or refundable unless defective, so verify terms before submitting measurements.
Do heavier drapes need a stronger rod?
They may. TWOPAGES Liz specifically notes that heavy lining requires a sturdy curtain rod. Check the rod’s suitability for the selected panel and lining.
