Petticoat Sofa: Fabric to the Floor

A skirted sofa: fabric covering down to the floor. The lower edge of the sofa has a pleated fabric skirt, extending from below the seat all the way to the floor, completely concealing the legs; the pleats of the skirt are regular box pleats or gathered pleats. The sofa body has a traditional rolled-arm silhouette, upholstered in printed cotton or plain fabric. There are three or four throw pillows with piping on the seat cushions. Avoid: using modern sofas with exposed slender wooden legs, making the skirt too short to see the legs, using a flat, unpleated hem, making the sofa a square, contemporary shape.

一張有布裙的沙發。沙發的下緣有一圈打褶的布裙,從座面下方一路蓋到地板,完全遮住椅腳;裙擺的褶子是規則的箱褶或碎褶。沙發本體是捲臂的傳統輪廓,包著印花棉布或素色布。座墊上有三四個帶滾邊的抱枕。避免:使用露出細木腿的現代沙發、讓裙擺短到看得到腳、使用平整無褶的下襬、把沙發做成方正的當代形體。
