- By moving your curtain rod up or down a little, you can adjust for the length of the curtain panels.

Our Lace Window Treatments and Window Tiers usually have this size pocket.
A 3 inch pocket will accept a 2 1/2 inch continental
curtain rod or a 1 1/2 inch diameter round

Most of our Curtains and Drapes have this size pocket.
Decorative Rods should be used with Grommet and Tab Top Curtains. Tabs and grommets do not hide the curtain rod.
