    Yes lollyred, the width is just the measurement unscrunched.:D (that's one descriptive word for gathered :rotfl: ) Might be worth mentioning in the description what heading tape they have eg normal, pencil, pinch pleat whatever.

    If in doubt measure the bottom of the curtain, but make sure you mention what the header is, and when doing length include the header in that.

    Hope that helps x

    Make sure you say that the curtain is ??" wide ungathered. Then it should be quite clear what you mean

    I would also mention that the curtains have never been gathered.....makes them appear unused....
