How very strange. Interesting. At any rate, Penneys is the place for
curtains. I've seen some of their custom work, too, very nice.

I've got a window that's 114" wide. Many of their custom curtains are only
available in 40" widths, meaning I'd have to use at LEAST four panels, and
then take them to a tailor to have them sewn into just two panels. What a
pain.

That would be the custom part, they would sew them for you. I have
the same window, apparently, 114" ... it's a bear to cover with curtains.
I haven't done it, but you could have them come in, measure, and make
you your curtains ... and hang them! Good luck.

I haven't investigated all of their "models" yet, but here's one that is
only offered in 40" widths. The only customization available is the length:

I've never noticed 40" wide as a custom limit at JCP - in any event,
any local shop (check at decorating - paint - shops, as well as home
fashion places) certainly should make drapes to your measurements, and
if you find a sale, they should be reasonable. (Can you use patio
panels? I think they are 96-120" wide. In addition, our Lowe's has a
nice range of drapes.)

I have a JCP sale catalog here - their best-selling antique satin
pinch-pleated drapes are 125" and 150" wide. Some of their thermal
drapes are 125" wide.

Here's one with a 40" width limit:

I have to keep checking. But, the antique satin is entirely unacceptable. It
looks hideous. And the patio panels are tricky because there's a heat vent
and an important electrical outlet about 12" below the window. I'd have to
have them modified locally. Onward....
