HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WINDOWS: http://www.youtube.com/user/windowsbymelissa
ON SAFETY: Our shades are in compliance with the Window Coverings Safety Standards with the use of an encased cord. The case is sewn into the shade which does not allow the cord to be pulled away from the shade. Read more about it on our November 2nd post on our Facebook page where you will find pictures of the new casing and also how the shades look with this alteration.
ON OUR CORDLESS FUNCTION: We offer two cordless options -
Cordless roller: The cordless roller upgrade allows you to simply tug at the bottom of the shade and guide it up and down into the desired position. If mounting inside the frame it does require 2.5” of flat depth space.
Budget friendly cordless: Our budget friendly cordless function is designed to be affordable and functional. There will be brass rings sewn down the back of your shade at about every ten inches. You will be provided with hooks to insert through the brass rings at whatever height you want your shade raised to. This is a safety feature we offer, but our cording system is in compliance with window covering safety regulations.
We also offer a continuous loop pull.
ON FABRIC: Not all fabrics are appropriate for a window treatment. Only 54 inch wide home decor fabric should be used for an order unless Windows by Melissa specifically approves a different fabric. All fabric purchase recommendations (should the customer choose to purchase his or her own fabric for an order) will assume that the purchaser is using a 54 inch wide home decor fabric. If Windows by Melissa receives fabric for an order that does not meet the above guidelines, then the customer’s order might require additional fabric, different fabric, or the fabric might not hang correctly on the finished product.
Color variations can differ from screen to in person. Swatches are always highly recommended. Please contact me to request a swatch (for a charge) if wanting to use one of my fabrics/materials.

5 out of 5 starsMy Roman curtains are perfect for my son’s nursery! Extremely high quality and look fabulous. It did take a bit for them to arrive but was well worth it as they are hand made and high quality. The seller was super easy to work with and the install was easy!

5 out of 5 starsWe got a Roman shade from Melissa 10 years ago and it was still going strong when the string got broken by a kiddo. So we ordered a new one because why mess with what works?! Just got a different color this time. Melissa was flexible and worked with me to pick a solid color fabric that wasn’t in her listing. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions
Measuring your windows
Please refer to our youtube channel to view videos on measuring your windows for a Roman Shade. Click on the link below the pictures that correspond with the mount you want (inside or outside). http://www.youtube.com/user/windowsbymelissa
What fabrics are appropriate:
Here are some tips on what to look for and what to say away from when looking for fabrics for a roman shade:
Appropriate: medium weight, drapery weight, 54” wide or wider, home décor
Inappropriate: anything that says, “light weight,” “45” wide,” or “quilter’s cotton, silk
Please send me the details of your fabric or direct link so I can ensure that your fabric will be appropriate for your order.
Will my inside mount shade be made smaller than the measurements given to ensure a good fit?
The mounting block is made a 1/2" smaller and the shade the exact width of the window. For the inside mount shades, you should mount the shade flush with the window frame, leaving the shade outside the frame just a hair. That way light doesn't come in from the sides. If you do not intend to mount this flush with the window frame and rather deeper inset the window frame, please let me know as we will need to make the shade a 1/2" smaller.
Is the hardware included in my order?
For inside mount shades - no hardware is needed. Just a couple of 2" long screws that are appropriate for your wall type. These are not included.
For outside mount shades - yes, the hardware will be included.
How are these shades mounted?

Outside mount: https://windowsbymelissa.com/window-treatments/how-to-hang-an-outside-mount-roman-shade/
Will you ship back any remaining fabric?
It is not customary to ship back remaining fabric as we request the bare minimum for your order. If you are wanting any fabric sent back, please arrange it with me ahead of time. If fabric is needed to be shipped back in a separate box this is at the customer expense. If any fabric is requested to be sent back after order has been shipped this is also at the customer's expense.
Do you accept expedited orders?
Yes! The turnaround time and fee is dependent on the size of the order. Please message me with your request for a quote.
Do you keep fabric in stock? Where can I see your fabric options for window treatments?
Here is a link to some fabrics you may choose for this project https://textilesbymelissa.com/all. Click on the pattern you like to see what colors it is available in. You are not limited to my fabric options. You may source it from a different vendor and have it shipped directly to me.
Swatches are highly recommended as color variations can change from screen to in person.
What if I need to cancel my order?
After we begin production of your order, we cannot offer a full refund. Windows by Melissa will refund the purchase price of the order less the costs incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred by us at the time of the cancellation for supplies, shipping, fees and/or contract labor.
Will my shade be made to the exact measurements given?
We do our best to ensure the exact measurement. Carefully follow the instructions regarding measurement of your windows. Place your order measurements in inches. Because each item is handmade, and because of the physical qualities of some fabrics, the finished product will often not measure exactly as requested by the purchaser. Windows by Melissa guaranties that your finished product will be within 1/2 inch (for Roman shades and valences) or 1 inch (for curtains) of the requested measurements. If your product does not meet this specification, please see the Returns and Alterations section, above.
We do not add or deduct anything from the measurements given.
