the easiest way for a person who has not done it before is to put the track up first then just measure the track.
there is a guide here for straight windows which is pretty much the same

but as i say with the track up it is probably best0 -
Put up the track. Measure from the track to the floor. If you are making them yourself you need to add 9 inches for hems, plus the pattern repeat and remember that curtains always look better if they are at least 6 inches on the floor.0
