Gathered or ShirredGathered 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 PleatKnife 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.

Box PleatA 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 PleatTable 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.

PlasticWhen 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.

FringeFringe 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.

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.
