I am making a curtain/drape for a powder room in a striped silk. The window is 33" wide and 56" long. the Curtain will be tied back on one side and a shear pulled back with a medallian on the other. How long should I make the drape? I do not want it to the floor but am not sure how long to make it. It will be lined. Thank you for any advice

Hi and welcome to the forum! I need more info. Are you asking how far from the floor it should be? Are you wanting to make a sill length curtain? Are you wanting to know where it should stop at the bottom? If you want to know the total length, I need to know what the heading will be, how it will hang, where the rod will be, etc., etc. Sorry, but your question is too generalized.
