Decide on the look before measuring. Curtains that just touch the floor need an exact drop; a puddled look adds 2-6 inches; café length stops at the sill. Lining changes both price and behaviour — blackout lining costs more but also hangs straighter.

Good to know

How much does it cost to have curtains hemmed?
Commonly $20-40 per panel depending on lining and length, and lined blackout panels cost more because both layers are handled. Many shops quote per pair rather than per panel, so ask which they mean.

Can a tailor shorten ready-made curtains?
Yes, and it is routine work for a drapery workroom or an alterations shop. Bring the panels with the hardware already installed if you can, so the drop is measured against the rod you actually have.
