The difference between the cost price and the retail price of merchandise. Markup may be expressed in dollars or as a percent. If stated as a percent, it may be based on either cost price or retail price. Most retailers base markup on retail price.
Measure the entire shape of a curved shower rod if this is the style you have. Expect the measured width to be approximately 6 inches more than a standard curtain rod. Purchase a shower curtain with a 72-inch width, if available, to compensate for the additional width. If necessary, a 70-inch curtain width works as well. This is because the rods curve inward at the edges, making for an overall smaller width measurement.
For a Solid Curtain. If you prefer to make a solid shower curtain, simply cut two pieces of fabric that are 87â³ long and 38â³ wide. (Remember to trim the selvedge edge off your fabric pieces before) Seam the two pieces together using a French Seam (more on that below). Then, follow the hemming and finishing instructions below.
