Posted by www.superiorcustomlinens.com | Handmade superior linen beddings on Jun 15th 2015

Everything we make long lasting best bedskirts for ourcustomers in our store, we would like it to be long lasting. Looking at thevintage bedrooms, the bed ruffle is a great way to complete the look. There are3 things we keep in mind when we handmade the bedskirt: fabric quality,workmanship and functionality.

The majority of our fabric is linen. It is known for itsdurability, rich texture and worn in look. Plus the weight of linen makes thedust ruffle drop beautifully.

Burlap bed ruffle is very popular now. It's inexpensive tocreate a shabby chic look. But do you know there are different types of burlap?Most of individual maker on Etsy purchased the burlap fabric from Jo Ann tomake the burlap dust ruffle or table cloth, it's looser weave, allowing lightcome through. While, after comparing with several fabric suppliers, we decidedto choose more tightly woven and less corarser burlap for a better homeylook.

Most of our customer like the bed-skirt made with splitcorners and they really like the overlapping details we put at each corner. Forgathered bed-skirt, we normally use 2 times of the fabric length to make thefull gathered look, this really makes a difference in ruffled bed-skirt. You can see a comparison below:

We use bedskirt our-self, and it's quite a bit lifting workwhen we have to laundry it, especially the king size mattress. There are mainly2 designs allowing you washing the bed-skirt without removing a heavy mattress.Stretch elastic sewed on the top of the bed-skirt, you just slip overyour mattress and around your box spring. The problem of this design is theelastic can lose its stretch and leave you with a loose stripe. Another populardesign is a detachable valcro design which we do for additional $15 for extrafabric and labor. We basically make a fitted platform to fit a standard orlow profile box spring and you put it over the box spring for the first timeinstallation. And bed ruffles are pressed to attach to the box spring. Soundseasy, right?. While there is only one drawback of this design: the valcro willbecome less and less sticky after repeated wash. However, consider we usuallydon't wash it often, it should still last you years.

Have you paid attention to the deck material when you shopfor bed-skirt? Most of the decking is made of very cheap fabric, even from thebig name brand. They are light weight, filmy and easily torn up. We use highquality white cotton fabric to make the platform fabric so it will stand theheavy weight of the mattress with moving.

We hope this behind scene article help you decide the quality bed ruffle for your rooms. Best wishes - Superior Custom Linens.
