Cherry Red & White Polka Dot Tailored Crib Skirt & 2 Bows Set

A red polka dot skirt along the floor and two white sashes at the posts — the two pieces that change a crib the most, without covering a single rail.

Small white dots on a deep cherry red, spaced evenly enough that from the doorway the skirt reads as a band of warm color and only breaks into dots when you walk up to it. The skirt is cut flat — pleated center panels, split corners that wrap around the crib legs — so the dot spacing stays true the whole 20-inch drop instead of crowding into gathers. The two sashes are solid white, each one a long length of washed cotton you tie yourself, so the size and fullness of the bow are your call.

What's Included:

• (1) four-sided tailored crib skirt in cherry red and white polka dot — pleated center panels, split corners, 20-inch finished drop, fits a standard crib mattress
• (2) large white bows — each arrives as a long sash you tie to your preferred size and fullness

Details:

• 100% cotton — soft, breathable, machine washable
• Tailored skirt construction — pleated center panels on all four sides, split corners that wrap around the crib legs, not gathered
• The flat deck sits between the mattress and the crib platform and holds its position when the mattress gets lifted
• Bows are solid white, not dotted
• Fits a standard convertible crib, including Jenny Lind and turned-spindle styles
• Any color can be changed; mini crib sizing and custom drops available — leave a note at checkout
• Handmade to order in Alabama

Good to Know:

• Shoppers call this piece a crib dust ruffle, a crib bed skirt or a nursery bed skirt — all the same thing, and this is the tailored version of it
• Cut flat rather than gathered because of the print: gathers crowd a small dot and throw the spacing off, while flat pleated panels hold it even from the mattress to the floor
• Red and white dots read as Christmas in December without a snowflake or a holly leaf on them, so nothing has to come down in January. The same skirt carries through Valentine's and looks right in July
• A dot in red sits between pink and blue, so this one works in a girl's room or a boy's
• The matching polka dot rail cover is sold separately, and all three pieces are offered together as one set
• The sashes do double duty outside the nursery — hospital door hangers, wreaths, curtain tie-backs and newborn photo props

Coordinates With:

• The matching polka dot ruffled rail cover — add it and the crib is finished top to floor
• White farmhouse nursery curtains — plain white at the windows keeps the dots the only pattern in the room
• The dotted skirt on its own — sashes sold separately
• White blackout nursery curtains — the same white with the blackout sewn inside, for naps
• This skirt and bows with the dotted rail cover — the full three-piece set
• The rail cover and dotted skirt as a two-piece set
• White large crib bow — add a third and fourth for the back posts
• White fitted crib sheet — the crisp white base shown in every photo
• Christmas Crib Bedding — the rest of the holiday nursery

Made to Order: Sewn when you order, in our Alabama studio.

A standard crib mattress is 28" × 52", and our pieces are cut to match it — 52" long rail covers, 28" short rail covers, and fitted sheets sized to that mattress. If your crib takes a standard mattress, no measuring is needed.

Crib skirt drops — farmhouse skirts are 20", ruffled skirts are 22". To find your drop, measure from just under the mattress support straight down toward the floor. Want a different length? Tell us your measurement at checkout and we'll make it to that, at no extra charge.

Rail cover drape — approximately 20" down each side of the rail, inside and out.

Mini cribs — sheets fit a 24" × 38" mattress, and most pieces can be made in mini sizing on request.

Antique, imported, or non-standard crib? Send us your measurements — everything is cut to order.

Every piece is made from 100% cotton sourced from American mills — no synthetic blends, no flame-retardant treatments, no chemical finishes.

Pre-washed before we cut. Every yard is washed and dried in our studio before a single piece is cut, so your bedding arrives already soft and won't shrink on you at home. That relaxed, lived-in texture is the washed cotton at work — and it irons or steams to a crisp finish if you prefer that look.

Washing — machine wash cold on gentle, separately. Skip bleach and fabric softener; both break down natural cotton over time.

Drying — tumble dry on medium, separately. A quick toss in the dryer is the easiest way to release wrinkles between uses.

Ironing — optional, on medium heat. Avoid starch sprays. A handheld steamer works well too.

Every piece is sewn to order in our Alabama studio, so nearly every detail can be changed.

Color changes — swap any color on any product: ruffles, cording, accents, bows, ties, or the body of the piece itself. Mix and match across a set however you like. Most color changes are free of charge.

Monograms and personalization — add initials, a name, or a meaningful date, with your choice of font and thread color. $30 per piece.

Style and sizing — prefer a tailored look without ruffles? Need mini crib sizing? Both are available on request.
