Curtain Pattern Repeats Before Ordering
A curtain pattern repeat describes where the design starts again. It affects alignment between panels, so check it separately from fabric width and finished curtain length.

Find the repeat
Ask for the vertical and horizontal repeat when available. The apparent size of a flower in a photograph is not a reliable measurement of how often the full design repeats.
Fabric or finished panels?
Fabric sold by the metre needs a cutting plan for pattern matching. For ready-made panels, ask whether matching is possible; buying two panels does not guarantee alignment at the centre.
Draw the centre line
Mark where the panels will meet and where you want a design feature to sit. Panels of equal length and width can still show different starting points in the pattern.
Avoid a fixed extra percentage
Extra fabric depends on the repeat, cutting plan and curtain design. Send the dimensions and repeat information to the seller or tailor before deciding the final quantity.
