Tablecloth Size Guide
Not sure what size tablecloth you need? Measure your tabletop, then add the drop (the part that hangs over the edge) twice: once for each side.
- Everyday look: 8–12" (20–30 cm) drop. Add 16–24" (40–60 cm) to the length and to the width.
- Formal dinner: about 15" (38 cm) drop. Add 30" (76 cm).
- Floor length: about 30" (76 cm) drop. Add 60" (152 cm).
No need to add extra for shrinkage. We already allow for it when we cut your tablecloth, so just choose the size you want to end up with.

Oval tables
Measure the longest and the widest part of the tabletop and add the same drop to both. We offer 54 oval sizes.
Adding a table runner?
A runner should hang 6–12" (15–30 cm) over each end of the table.

We double-check every order
When you order, tell us your table size and how much drop you'd like, by email or in the chat. We'll check that the size you chose fits before we start sewing, and write to you if we'd suggest a different one.
Can't find your size?
Every tablecloth is made to order in our workshop, so custom sizes are welcome. Contact us with your table measurements and we'll make it for you. Please note that custom-size items can't be returned.
Not sure about the color? Tablecloths have their own color palette, shown on each tablecloth page. Order fabric samples first, or browse all linen tablecloths.
