On the flat measuring is a simple concept.  When you take a gathered rod pocket drape or valance and lie it flat on a table you will be measuring the flat width.  If the flat measurement is 50″, you will typically get 25″ of window coverage when installed on the rod at 2 to 1 fullness.  Fullness is how much you gather the window treatment on the rod.
