    Hi. I'm looking to know where to get extra wide curtains to fit a bay window. I can't afford to have them made. They need to be 120" width approx and 72 drop. All curtains Ive found only go up to 90 width. I tried buying 2 pairs of smaller width curtains but it doesn't look right.

    Thanks for your help

    you could have your 2 pairs of smaller width curtains joined to make 1 larger pair

    I think you will not find such wide material. Max 160cm = 63"
    You can try join two colored material and have straps.
    By the way - what color this curtain should be?

    Thanks. I suppose I could try join them. What does everyone else do with bay windows?
    The room is cream and duck egg blue with mahogany furniture. I have dark wood venetian blinds.

    I have 400cm- 157" long and 220cm-87" high and I joined mine curtains, but in the middle where door are opened and closed are separated.

    If you go outside of larger fabric shops and find someone who makes curtains, you'd be shocked at the price. I got curtains made for a large bay window which are fleece lined for less than the price of the equivalent number of pre-mades, I'd have needed 9 curtains (so 5 pairs) and then get them sewn together.

    Granted the larger fabric shops were a fortune, but go outside them and you'll be surprised.
