    BASIC DESIGNS
     KNIFE PLEAT
    Knife pleat 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 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 pleat give the table a net, tailored appearance. box
    pleats have more pronounced projection than a simple knife pleat, adding
    dimension and interest to simple business or formal tables.

     GATHERED OR SHIRRED
    Gathered or shirred table skirts are 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 full, ruffled appearance.

     PLASTIC
    When budget and easy clean-up 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
    tropical or luau-themed event. Raffia fringe works as hula table skirting, tiki
    bar draping and funky wall décor.
     SWAG
    Banquets, business or party tables can be fitted with detachable swags that
    are placed over any kind of cloth table skirting. Swag 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.
