DIFFERENT KINDS OF TABLE SKIRTING

knife pleats. Box pleated table skirting is best suited for

3. French Box Pleat

 French box pleats provide more volume than standard box pleats,
its pleats are narrower than a regular box pleats, giving the
bottom of the table skirting a fuller appearance. It works equally
well in casual or elegant setting.

 Fringe table skirting is a playful addition to party tables.

Metallic tissue and raffia fringe skirts have a number of
