Crib Bed Skirts (Lowering the Mattress)

chelle_chelle5487@hotmail.com · February 2013

So we lowered DD's mattress a long time ago and the bed skirt has always bugged me since then. When the mattress was at its highest setting it fit perfectly-just barely hit the floor. Now that we have lowered it, it hangs and bunches up (its too long now) and I can't think of a way to fix it. I've tried pulling up the excess material and tuck it under the crib but that only lasts so long and then the sides look weird. Has anyone run into this when they lowered the mattress??

Oh-I was looking online and a lot of the info I read was saying that the bed skirt was to fit right at the lowest setting. So do I just have a weird one then?? LOL

Could you hem it up? If you don't sew, iron on hem tape works well.

Ours was the same way, I ended up just removing it - seemed like we didn't use it much and it certainly doesnt look as cute, but it drove me nuts hanging funny with the lowered mattress!
