This is the bed in question.You can kind of see the sad and saggy cream colored bed skirt in this picture, although I tried to keep it out.. Now, one route is of course to make your own and figure it out that way, but I found a store-bought skirt that I loved and I was determined to make it work!It ended up being fairly easy once I figured out my plan of attack.

There are two sets just like this that run side-by-side.

They’re attached together with a heavy ribbon and they stretch nicely into place on the bed.Please keep your seat belt buckled and your arms inside the windows at all times.
