Hi I have been asked to make a twin bed skirt for a friend of a friend is there a typical size for the drop on the bed skirt? I can find out how to get the size for the top but not the drop. Any help would be appreciated.

| My advice would be to ask for the measurement from the top of the box spring to where they want it to end. Touch the floor or just above the floor. I think I read it that you were asking about the drop length, right ? If not I'm sorry if I miss understood. |

Thanks Beachgirl I was hopping I didn't have to ask her but that was info that I wanted. I get shy sometimes and thinks I should know everything and don't want to ask. Crazy but that is me. Thanks

| I fully understand. The problem is all beds are not alike as you know. There are platforms, box springs & mattress, Mattress with a board underneath, Water beds & so on. They all have to be measured for the drop. Sometimes we think we should have all the answers but no one can. Just remember, there is no such thing as a silly question. This group is wonderful coming forth with answers. Believe me if we type something wrong even though we're thinking the right way someone will catch it fast. I don't mind that unless they aren't nice about it. We're all human. Glad to be of help. Someone else might have an even better answer for you. |
