    Hi and welcome to the forums.

    you need to measure the width of your curtain rail (excluding the finials) and then the length you want the curtains from the top of the rail to where you want - i.e. a couple of inches or so below the window sill or the floor. They are normally sold in inches rather than mm or cm.

    this is how they are normally sold, and will say on the pack to fit up to xx wide and xx drop.

    depends how much you want to pay. if you want some cheap but good enough curtains try tjhughes website. if you want more expensive you could try Debenhams, m & S, Next etc etc
