What is a tablecloth drop?

The "drop" of a tablecloth refers to how far the fabric hangs over the edge of your table. It plays an important role in determining the overall style and formality of your table setting.

Casual occasions: An 8- to 12-inch drop is common. This lends a tidy, relaxed look while still providing good coverage.

Formal settings: A floor-length drop (usually 30 inches or more) adds elegance and drama to a tablescape. This drop is perfect for weddings, holiday dinners and upscale events.

When measuring, remember to account for the drop on all sides of the table. For example, if your table is 60 inches wide and you want a 10-inch drop, your tablecloth should be at least 80 inches wide. Use the same idea when calculating the length.
