Technically, the purpose of the Dan River bed ruffle is to cover the box spring as well as the legs of the bed, so one should be mindful of the height of the skirt. It should not be too short so as to show the legs, as it will defeat the purpose of putting it there. Also, it should fit the bed size properly, as loosened skirts do not look good, and again it will defeat the purpose of putting it there. Lastly, it should match all the other accessories on the bed. That is why it is easier to buy bed sets as everything else matches everything from the bed sheets to the pillows to the skirts.
