Linen Terms

Drop/overhang: Is the length from the edge of the table to seem of the fabric. If this is from the edge of a sitting table to the floor then you have a 30″ drop off we call that a full table drape. A cocktail table or pub table has about a 42″ drop.

Full Drop/Table Drape: A linen that covers the entire table all the way to the floor.

Puddle Drop: A linen that covers the entire table all the way to the floor and has extra fabric creating a puddling effect.

Some additional information to help you decide;

  • The standard “drop” or overhang is 8″
  • A 10″ – 12″ overhang will reach your lap level
  • A 29″ – 30″ drop will reach to the floor
  • Bar height or standing height is 40-42″ to the floor
  • Food display tables generally use a “drape” linen

Square Tablecloths (see image above)

Square tablecloths offer a versatile look for both round and square tables. On a 30” round cocktail table, a 60” square cloth provides a stylish angled drop that shows off the table legs—ideal for casual events or layered looks.

For a 60” round dining table, larger square cloths such as 85” or 90” square linens can be used diagonally over a base linen to add texture, color, or dimension. Square overlays are often used to complement event themes, especially when layering linens for added elegance.
