Best Trudie Constance Chocolate Rectangle Tablecloth with Ruffle

Trudie’s Constance Chocolate print, cut as a rectangle and ruffled at the edge. The ruffle is the reason to choose this over a flat hemmed cloth, because it softens the hard line of the table and makes the cloth read as furnishing rather than as fabric laid down for dinner. The chocolate ground does the rest, since a deep brown base hides an evening better than white and makes brass, greenery, and pink look deliberate on top of it. Layer it under the matching Constance placemats and napkins, or break it up with the Beatrice tablecloths and the Abigail linens for a table that looks collected, not bought.

What size tablecloth do I need for a 6 foot table? A standard 6 foot rectangular table measures about 72 by 30 inches, so a 90 by 132 inch cloth gives a floor length drape and a 60 by 102 inch cloth gives a shorter lap length drop. For any rectangular table, add twice the drop you want to both the length and the width, then compare that total against the cloth’s listed dimensions.
