I had no idea how difficult it would be to find a bed skirt long enough for our apparently-raised bed! This length fit perfectly. I recommend washing before using it to get the wrinkles out, but that's just a hunch on my part. My husband put it on before we washed it and I didn't bother to take it back off, so I don't know the effect washing has. I'll probably just spray the bedskirt with water and hope the wrinkles fall out over time. But I'm kind of lazy like that.
