6.  Gathered or Shirred
Gathered or shirred table skirts are a popular
choice due to the simplicity and reasonable cost. A
gathered or shirred table skirt is a fabric drape
drawn together by threads along the top hem
providing extra body to the skirt. A tighter gather
gives a table skirt a full, ruffled appearance.
 Knife Pleat
Knife pleats are one of the most common kinds of
pleating for table skirts. A knife pleat is a series of
narrow, sharp creases folded in the same direction.
Unlike gathered table skirts, knife pleats create
smooth, precise lines down the length of the skirt.
The knife pleated table skirt is a classic choice that
is the least expensive of the pleated variety.

7.  Box Pleat
A box pleat table skirt is made from a sequence of
back-to-back knife pleats. Box pleated table skirting
is a good choice for a professional conference or
business meeting. The box pleats give the table a
neat, tailored appearance. Box pleats have a more
pronounced projection than a simple knife pleat,
adding dimension and interest to business or formal
tables.
 French Box Pleat
Table skirting with French box pleats provide even
more volume than standard box pleats. French pleats
are narrower than regular box pleats, giving the
bottom of the table skirting a fuller appearance.
French box pleats work equally well in casual or
elegant settings.

8.  Plastic
When budget and easy cleanup are a priority, consider
plastic table skirting. Vinyl fabric can be fashioned into
simple gathers or knife pleats. Vinyl table skirting is a
cost-effective way to dress tables for any occasion.
 Fringe
Fringe table skirting is a playful addition to party tables.
Metallic, tissue and raffia fringe skirts have a number of
imaginative uses. This kind of decorative fringe is a
charming substitute for table skirting and serves as a
festive wall border for special celebrations. Natural
raffia table skirting is perfect for a tropical or luau-
themed event. Raffia fringe works as hula table skirting,
tiki bar draping and funky wall decor.

9.  Swag
 Banquet, business or party tables can be
fitted with detachable swags that are placed
over any kind of cloth table skirting. Swags
are commonly attached with overlap clips that
will not flatten or damage the table skirt
pleating. Swags are an easy way to dress up
an otherwise plain table skirt.
