- Curtains are pattern matched from the bottom. If multiple curtains need pattern matching then please state this on the order and it is subject to a 10% surcharge, otherwise we cannot guarantee all items will pattern match.

- When the curtains are drawn and meet in the centre of the window, side hems prevent an exact match on the leading edge.

- Curtains are supplied unpressed, creases will normally fall out when the curtains are hung. Please avoid excessive heat or pressure as this could stretch or shrink the fabric.

- Atmospheric shrinkage up to 5% occurs with all fabrics. It is dependent on changes in temperature and humidity, this is not a fault with the fabric.

- Lined fabrics should not be washed as the curtain fabric and the lining may experience different levels of shrinkage causing the linin to hang below the curtain fabric.
