Best place to buy a roman blind to measure

We have a new build hose with wonderful odd sized windows! when we moved in i cut myself (never again!) 6 venitian blinds to size..first few were perfect then i got tired/bored ect! and the last 2 aren't great!..was wanting to replace then with romans but our windows are roughly 75cm wide and cannot find any to measure this?
Any ideas where are good to go to get them done properly?
Thanks

    Hi gabyjane. I purchased six roller binds, three of them 8ft in width. They are absolutely gorgeous.

    I put into their calculator for you an example roman, measuring 750mm x 750mm as a guess and the price was £60.64.

    I can thoroughly recommend the company, and did loads of quotes from others before settling on these. http://www.blindsuk.net/roman-blinds.html
  • Mutter, are you sure the price was under £37.00? When I do the same (i'm looking for a blind) the cheapest price is over £60 (with a "saving" of £36)

    Oh no. I'll look again.

    Yes you are right, £60.64. I'd better edit before she gets all excited.

    Thanks for pointing it out. Should have known it was too good.

    At least no one will suspect I work for them.

    Hi thanks is that each? the one we have in our lounge is perfect and was about £15 but smaller..i figure cutting them though may result in a mess!
