I have the curtains shown in the link below and love them. Problem is, we moved and they're too short for the sliding glass door we want to use them on. I tried to order another set but they won't be available until Feb 10 soooo, I was thinking of adding a solid border to either the top or bottom of them. What do you all think? Do you think top or bottom would be best or should I just order a different curtain? We both just love these though and they make our living room really pop.

I would add a border at the bottom - would look great.

I think matching the blue would be the way to go. Very pretty curtains!

I'd go with the darker color. I've seen panels like that before and they look good. Don't forget they both get dirty the same, the white might be more visible.  (I'm being a smartass ) |

They look even nicer in person. Very high quality given the price.

LOL - reminds me of an old commercial for laundry detergent - an older woman with a high pitched voice was telling a younger woman, "If you're not getting your whites clean, you're not getting you're darks clean either."

Is my font size really huge?? It looks that way on my last post but the others look okay. I have been having weird issues with my font sizes of late. They're defaulting to 22 - yikes!! Have tried changing it but only seems to work sometimes.

Your font was the same as the rest on my screen, but it is now smaller in that last post.
I would do the darker border on the bottom. It would take more fabric, but you could also do a band along the inside edges. -- in an L shape instead of just a band, but the side edge would be narrower than the bottom. Bottom only would be simplest and address your issue. I like the idea of the darker color , but if it is a blue, matching the color may be more difficult than matching white.
