What size tablecloth do I need?

In general, you want to add 10 to 24 inches to the length and width (diameter for a round table) of your table. This will give you a drop of 5 to 12 inches on each side. Then choose the closest size from our selection. For a rectangular tablecloth, it is recommended to have a similar drop in the length and width. Too much drop will tend to interfere with guests sitting down and up. Too little drop will not look as good. (If you have an antique, European, or other hard-to-fit table, our Le Cluny French Country Collection tablecloths can be ordered in custom dimensions. Contact us to inquire.) Please note that all tablecloths shrink a small amount the first time they are washed. Expect about  2% shrinkage. You may want to take this into consideration when selecting the perfect size.
