 Like a skirt in a wardrobe, a table skirt is a

way to dress up a table. Similar to

tablecloths, they wrap around the edge
of a table leaving the top uncovered.
Chosen in a fabric to match existing
décor, a table skirt adds style and
function to a room.
 One of the biggest advantages of using
table skirting is that it gives you an
opportunity to hide many unnecessary
things right under the table without anyone
ever getting to see them.
 Another benefit is that it greatly improves
the look of the table.
 When using it for a dining table at a
restaurant or at home, there are chances of
food or drinks falling while the guests eat
their meals. A table skirt will help protect
your table from any potential damage
because of this.
 Polyester- This is a relatively inexpensive
skirt and is made synthetically. The
biggest advantage with this type of
skirting is that it doesn’t absorb liquids
which makes it a great choice if you
have children eating at the table
regularly.
 Plastic- This is another cheap fabric that
you could consider and it has a really
long lifetime as well. You don’t have to
worry about your skirting digging a hole
in your pocket with this fabric.
 Linen- This is an extremely stretchable
and flexible fabric. This means that even
if your skirt isn’t the proper size for your
table, you will still be able to stretch it
and pull it all the way to the corners in
order to compensate for the size
difference.
 Pleated- This type of table skirt employs
multiple fabrics where one type is used for
covering the table and the other is used for
covering the first fabric.
 Covers- They are quite flexible when you
can to think about it and are mainly
used for covering your table. It is flat and
firm which means that once you fit it, it is
not going to shift like skirts do.
 Fitted- This type of skirting is never available
readymade. What is going to happen here is
that you will have to buy some fabric and
then get a tailor to make it so that it fits your
table exactly.
 Step 1
› Determine the table skirt size you'll need.
This is actually easy - skirts come in 3
standard size lengths: 13ft, 17ft, and 21ft (all
are ~29" height).
Most people skirt 3 sides of a table - some
skirt all 4 sides. The image below shows these
lengths and common table size applications.
If you have a unique sized table, you will
want to look at getting custom table
skirts created, which can be made to fit any
size you need.
 Step 2
› Chose a color, pleat type, and material.
We offer a wide selection of colors, pleats and
materials, so you should have no trouble finding
exactly what you need.
Our table skirting is available with 2 types of pleats:
box pleats or shirred pleats. If you're unfamiliar with
the differences, see the images below for
reference. (Shirred pleats are the most common)
 Shirred Pleat Style Most popular style
› Gathered, attractive pleat style
› Cost effective styling
› Commonly used at food stations
or buffet, cake and gift tables
 Box Pleat Style Most elegant choice
› Deep folded pleats creates an
attractive appearance
› Often used for bridal head tables,
conference tables or anywhere
for an upscale look
 Step 3
› Pick your table skirting accessories: clips, toppers and
hangers.
› Skirting Clips
› Almost as important as the skirts themselves are the
clips - they're what hold the skirting on the table! All of
our clips have Velcro on them, so they attach easily to
the skirting (all table skirting we make has
Velcro® brand Velcro sewn along the top back side).

› We offer a wide selection of clips for a variety of

different table sizes. To determine which clip you'll
need, you need to know the thickness of the edge of
your tables. Once you know the thickness you can pick
the appropriately sized clips here.
› Generally, you want to apply one clip per foot for the
best application. Below are some images showing a
clip on a table, and the Velcro sewn to a table skirt.
 Step 4
› Enjoy your skirts!
