I DON'T WEAR A SKIRT, SO WHY SHOULD MY BED
My sister gave me a bed skirt that matches my new white comforter. I thought that was really great since I have one of those new fangled beds that is 3 feet off the ground. It looks dorky to see sheets on the top mattress and then see this bare thing underneath it. I thought it was going to be easy. I was so totally wrong. For those of you that don't know, you do have to take the top mattress off to get the bed skirt on. So....
After much thought, the easiest option for one person was to just push the top mattress off the bed and stand it on-end on the floor at the end of the bed. This worked well. Then, I just tossed the bed skirt on, made sure it looked even and all the corners were straight. Then, as I was pushing the top mattress back over onto the box spring, I came to realize how much of a pain the butt it was going to be to actually get the skirt straight and even. When I dropped the mattress and slid it back into place, it just HAD to take the skirt with it and bunch up between the two mattresses. So, I went to the end of the bed and stuck my arms as far as I could get them between the mattresses and grabbed a hold of the skirt. I pulled it out and made sure it looked even with the floor, and that is when I noticed that it was uneven on the sides. I spent at least 20 minutes going from side to side around the bed gently pulling and tugging on the skirt to get it as even as I could. It is still a little uneven, but I don't think it is going to be noticeable to anyone but me. It is just going to have to be that way for a bit because I am not in the mood to perfect the skirt.

I totally feel your pain! We have those damn things at the hotel now, and they are too long and drag on the floor, they have a stipe pattern so when it is crooked, it looks really bad. Plus they get moved around, spilled on, and they're a pain in the ass, especially when you want to tuck the sheets in, and you have to pull down the skirt with one hand and tuck with the other.... arg. But they do look nice when they're on there correctly
