Curtains - Mind's Gone Blank!

[Smowball]

When ordering curtains, is what's shown online the width of the window or each curtain? And do I double the measurement? I.e. If the window is 60 drop x 40 width would I buy curtains 80 width?
I've done this a hundred times but seriously have got brain freeze - I blame my head cold and headache!

I have curtain sizes on a card in my purse, in case I see any bargains when out and about, and a tape measure.

So Mamya if I wanted to buy a new net and my window measured 46" across, what measurement of net should I buy? I have a small back window that I just put a net over for privacy, but haven't replaced in a while...

Lol hereIam.
Think I'm going to go for 90 drop so they go to the floor , rather than a random distance below windowsill, and am thinking 72 wide?? Or is that too wide??

is the actual window 60 x 40 ? if so each curtain would be rquired to cover 60 X20 ? then 90 drop X 44 would be enough

I have bought times 2 before and my window was swathed!!! I would go for times and a half.
