Cherry Red & White Polka Dot Tailored Cotton Crib Skirt

Just the skirt — a 20-inch band of cherry red dots that hides the springs, the frame and everything shoved underneath, and gives the room its color while it's at it.

Small white dots sit evenly across a deep cherry red, close enough that the skirt reads as a warm block of color from the doorway and only resolves into dots when you crouch down to it. We cut it flat — pleated center panels on all four sides, split corners that wrap around the crib legs, a 20-inch drop that just clears the floor. A dot this small needs that construction: gathers crowd the spacing and the pattern goes muddy.

Details:

• Four-sided tailored design with pleated center panels — 20-inch finished drop
• Split corners for a clean fit around every crib leg
• The flat deck sits between the mattress and the crib platform and stays put when the mattress gets lifted
• Fits a standard crib mattress; mini crib sizing and custom drops available — leave a note at checkout
• 100% cotton in cherry red and white polka dot
• Handmade to order in Alabama

Good to Know:

• Crib dust ruffle, crib bed skirt, nursery bed skirt — different names for the same piece, and this is the tailored version of it
• Tailored rather than our gathered farmhouse style, specifically because gathers crowd a small dot. Flat pleated panels hold the spacing even from the mattress to the floor
• Buying the skirt on its own makes sense if you already have a rail cover you like, or if you want the room to look different for one season without replacing everything
• Red and white dots read as Christmas in December with no snowflake or holly anywhere on them, so nothing has to come off the crib in January. The same skirt carries into Valentine's and looks right in July
• A dot in red sits between pink and blue, so it works in a girl's room or a boy's
• Cherry Red is our name for this red, and it is the same red as our solid Cherry Red pieces, so the two mix. It is brighter than our Country Red, which is darker and deeper

Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, wash separately.

• White blackout nursery curtains — the same white with the blackout sewn inside, for naps
• The matching polka dot ruffled rail cover — add it and the crib is finished top to floor
• This skirt with the rail cover, as a two-piece set
• That set with two large white bows
• White large crib bow — add one, two, or four

• 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.
