ABSTRACT:
A bed skirt for use over the lower part of a bed having a foot and opposed spaced sides and a horizontally extending mattress supported on a bedstead formed by a frame and legs, said bed skirt extending over the legs of the bed to provide a desired enclosure for the lower portion of the bed to minimize dust accumulations under the bed and to provide a decorative enclosure for the lower part of the bed. The bed skirt is formed with a vertically extending skirt portion or flounce dimensioned to extend along at least the foot and opposed sides of the bed from a point close to the floor to a point above the legs of the bed. Secured to the top edge of the skirt by a single continuous line of stitching is a retaining strip which extends horizontally from the upper edge of the skirt portion over at least a part of the bed frame, preferably a distance such as to cover the edge of the horizontal surface of the mattress support. A plurality of spaced complementary fastening elements of a hook and loop type of fastening element are secured to the retaining strip therealong and a plurality of mating complementary fastening elements of said hook and loop type of fastening elements are provided adhesively securable to a horizontal surface of the bed frame, preferably the mattress support, at points such that the spacing of said fastening elements on the horizontal surface of the bed frame matches the spacing of the hook and loop elements secured to said retaining element, whereby said retaining element and its associated skirt portion may be selectively positioned along the side and bottom edges of the bed and held in this pre-selected position.
