Let me tell you, this was so EASY to put on, it was a AMAZING! Whoever thought of this was a absolute genius! I never in my life dreamed of putting on a bed skirt this easy. And bc I’m 71, I just left the old bedskirt on, and put the new one right over it. It was a breeze! I have a big king extra long very high 4 poster bed, so after I put the bedskirt on evenly and spaced it out nicely, really easy to do, I just then cut slits in the fabric with my good fabric scissors where the skirt would have to spilt around the posters and in the middle over the middle support between the 2 bottom twin box springs that support the big king mattress. I only cut spilts in the skirt by the bottom posters, not the top posters bc the nightstands are there, and really, you cannot see it. I was a seamstress so I knew exactly where and how to cut the fabric with the scissors after I put the bedskirt on. I’m too old now and tired to measure the bedskirt exactly to put the cuts in the fabric exactly where they belong and to finish the seams correctly with seam tape, the fabric won’t unravel bc of the type of fabric that it is, and I won’t live that long for anyone to ever notice it! ?. But if you want to be precise, ok. In the end I don’t think it actually matters. The bedskirt looks BEAUTIFUL! I cannot believe it and so inexpensive too. The 22” dark brown chocolate skirt looks just beautiful, you would think I spent much more money on this bedskirt! I can’t get over how EASY!! I pulled the elastic as tight as I could, easy to do, I just slipped the skirt over the top mattress when I changed the sheets. And I recently changed the color decor in my bedroom,I have a beige medium brown rug and the dark brown chocolate bed skirt looks beautiful, it matches my dark cherry furniture, I have cream color curtains and a electric blanket that is cream with green pine needle branches with pine cones and pine branches and beige pine cones, I put a big wreath over the bed that is pinecone theme with with cream pip berries, and I’m telling you now this bedskirt in the dark brown looks absolutely gorgeous, it sets everything else off! I’m so pleased, thank you AMAZON for making my life easier!! And for wrinkles it was very wrinkled when I took it out of the bag, but I put the bedskirt in the dryer with a synthetic fabric soft velour blanket I just washed so the blanket was wet and I sort of knew the heat and the moisture from the blanket would sort of steam out the wrinkles in the bedskirt and it did, the bedskirt did come out virtually wrinkle free, you could be fussy and touch it up with a cool iron if you want but I know the very few soft wrinkles will fall out anyway, it really looks just gorgeous. HAPPY!
