When I opened the Little Paris shop I did not have time to finish some of the details the way that i wanted…
One of the details that i left undone was to get a bedskirt for the queen bed in the Paris Boudoir….it ended up on the back burner because Christmas was coming and there were just so many other things to do and noone seemed to notice the makeshift skirt that i threw on it for the time being so i let it slide…
But i kept it on my list and recently found a pretty voile sheer drapery fabric with a tone on tone stripe (2″wide). It was 118″ wide and relatively inexpensive. So i bought three yards with the plan to make 2 drapery panels and the bedskirt.
i just put the new bedskirt on our Paris Boudoir Bed…..its so pretty and sexy.
We merely cut the fabric to the length we wanted (long enough to drag on the floor), added in a hem allowance (about 1/2″) and another 2″ at the top to sew a casing for elastic.
It was simple and cost effective. I love that it is dragging on the floor and that the gathering is so full and luxurious. And because it’s a voile it has body and a little shimmer!
