Table skirts cover the legs and space under tables to make unattractive tables more presentable. They wrap around the table edge like a skirt, leaving the top uncovered. Choosing a fabric that matches the room's decor, table skirts add both style and functionality by dressing up tables. Proper measuring and preparation are required to custom fit skirts to tables of various sizes and shapes.

dress up a table. Similar to tablecloths, they wrap

for buffet and banquet table to accommodate big crowd for more
festive mood.

casual, depending on the fabric you choose. Satin, embroidered
upholstery fabric and bright white fabric of any material usually
create a more formal look. Floral patterns, neutral cottons, and
solid or patterned polyester fabrics can be used for everyday table
skirting that can be washed as needed and requires little upkeep.
