White Linen Tailored Bed Skirt

A white linen bed skirt in 100% linen at 170 GSM.

Construction

A flat deck panel sits on top of the box spring; the mattress holds it in place. No ties, no elastic.

Four styles, selectable on the product page:

• Corners not split, pleats on the sides
• Corners not split, no pleats
• Split corners, pleats on the sides
• Split corners, no pleats

Drop heights listed per variant.

The one measurement, and the four styles

Measure from the top of the box spring to the floor — not from the top of the mattress. That single mistake is the reason most bed skirts arrive wrong, and it is why we cut drops from 10 to 30 inches / 20 to 70 cm rather than offering one or two. The four styles are corners split or not, pleats on the sides or not: split corners are what a bed with posts needs, and pleats are a question of how much movement you want at the sides. The bed skirt guide walks through both choices.

A bed skirt is also the piece that comes off the bed least often — the mattress holds the deck panel down, so it only moves when you lift the mattress. Choose the color you will still want in five years. When it does finally come off, white is the one color of ours that takes oxygen bleach.

The fabric

100% linen at 170 GSM, European, medium weight — substantial enough to hang with a clean line, soft enough to move easily.

Care

Wash before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. The skirt is cut 3–5% oversized to absorb the natural shrinkage of linen; it settles to nominal size after 1–2 cold washes. For ongoing care, machine wash at 40 °C (104 °F) on a delicate cycle. Tumble dry low. Oxygen bleach is safe for white linen; do not use chlorine bleach. Ironing is not necessary; linen carries a soft crease naturally. Full details: linen care guide.

Certification and origin

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — the fabric and thread are tested for substances that affect skin and lungs. The flax is European; every piece is cut and sewn in our own workshop near Riga, Latvia — not subcontracted, not relabelled from elsewhere.

Common questions

Should I wash this before first use?
Yes. New linen should always be washed before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. The skirt ships oversized and settles to nominal size after 1–2 cold washes.

Does linen shrink?
Yes — natural fibers shrink. Expect 3–5%. This skirt is cut oversized to absorb that, so the final fit matches the size you ordered.

Does white linen yellow over time?
Not with normal care. White linen yellows when stored damp or when bleached with chlorine. Wash, dry fully, store dry. Oxygen bleach is safe for occasional brightening.
