Curtains and draperies are generally offered in multiple widths. When calculating how full to shirr curtains or draperies on a rod, the rule of thumb is to multiply the rod width 2 1/2 to 3 times. This number is the approximate width needed for a panel, or the total width for a pair of panels. Some of the more common lengths available for curtains and draperies are valance, cafe, window, and floor length.
