84in Drop curtains

All,

I'm looking for some help and advice. I bought a new build flat a couple of years ago and now at the stage where I want to personalise things a bit more. I am looking for 84" drop curtains which should go from the curtain pole to the floor. All the ones I seem to find at for doors. Other curtains are too long (90") and also to wide for the small window.

Any ideas where I can find 84" drop ready made curtains?

    They're not that hard to alter- buy the iron on hemming stuff, fold over, stick it in and iron.

    Thanks for the advice arbrighton. Normally the 90 drop are a lot winder than I need. The cutain pole is on 58" wide. Wasn't sure if it would look daft with the excess material?

    You need more than that width anyway to allow the folding. Are you talking about eyelets or adding hooks??

    (when you make curtains, width is at least 1.5 of the window)
