Measure your table
Before you buy your tablecloth, be sure tomeasure your tableto determine the appropriate size At l 'Atelier d 'Eve we recommend a fallout of between 15 and 30cm.
For example, if you choose a fallout of 20 cm, measure the width and length of your table and add 40 cm to each measurement. Don't forget the extension cords if you have many guests.

Don't forget the towels!
Whoever says tablecloth says matching towels. They also play a large part in the decoration of the table.
Beautifully folded, the towels give originality and elegance to all tables and it has become a real art:

You can also roll them up and tie them with a flax cord by slipping a small branch of fir tree into them.
