extra long shower curtains
Hi there! I have a shower that is really tall, and normal shower curtains don't seem to ever be long enough. I am tired of wet floors, so I bought one on eBay that claimed to be longer, and it was, by about an inch. :) Can you help me find a long enough curtain to keep me from having to mop after showers? THANKS!

If I were you I think I would lower the shower bar. If that is not an option then you could sew another piece to the bottom of your cloth curtain. If I was going to do this I would look for another shower curtain that compliments the one you have. For example if yours is white with pink flowers you could find a solid pink ruffled curtain and attach it on about 2/3's of the way down. Or you could do something bold and unexpected like polka dots and stripes or black and neon. Whatever suits your taste and decor will work. If you only have one bar you may have to hang your plastic liner off of the holes in your shower curtain to make it long enough too or you could just add a second spring tension bar. You do have quite a few options for this problem. I hope it all works out the way you want it to look!

I am not sure that there is anything but a standard size curtain for showers. In all the friends houses I have been to, hotels, bed and breakfasts, I have never once come across a curtain that couldn;t cover the span it needed to.
This leads me to believe that theres a chance your shower curtain bar was placed too high. If yours is a simple tension rod, you should be able to lower it without a problem. It it is the kind of bar that rest in end support caps nailed or screwed into the walls, then if its an apartment, ask the manager if its okay to lower the bar. If they ask why explain it because a regular curtain doesn't catch all the water and much ends up on the floor requiring a mop up afterwards. If this is your own home, then do it yourself or have a partner or friend help with it.
If bar can not be moved, or you're not allowed to move it, and you can not find longer curtains, I would myself resort to purchasing two clear shower curtains, cutting off a section of the bottom of one to add with clear or white duct tape to the full one. You hang this inside the tub while of the outside with the same hooks hangs a pretty cloth shower curtain your choice of design to cover the fact that the inner liner looks kind of rinky-dink/homemade. Bust as long as its functional, it shouldn't matter.
Hope this helps.
