MB Progress, but bed skirt doesn't fit

[happyhomemaker]

Our mattress set and frame came in a couple days ago. So far it is incredibly comfortable! I actually look forward to going to sleep instead of dreading it because our old mattress (which is practically brand new, but I digress) was so uncomfortable. I got to take out all of our new bedding (I washed everything except the dry clean only coverlet, which isn't on the bed right now, decorative shams and the bed skirt). Before the delivery guys put the mattress on the box spring, I put the bed skirt on top and it is actually a little too big. It is only on the sides, though, but still doesn't look as nice as if it actually fit. I got the correct size (king). Everything else looks great and now I am just waiting to get a headboard. I will post pictures when it is done, unless you want to see it sooner. Any thoughts as to why the correct size is too big and how to remedy the situation? Have any of you ladies had this problem?

My bed skirt is slightly too big too. You should be able to buy pins meant to pin the bedskirt in place at like BB&B. I'll google it in a minute.

I didn't even know a product like this existed! Thanks so much! I am going to have to give them a try. Are they difficult to use?

Not a clue lol. I don't really care that mine is slightly too big because my quilt covers it up on the only side visible from the door.

Our frame is just a black metal frame with rollers on it that we got from the furniture store that we purchased the mattress set from, not pretty at all. I prefer the look of this particular bed skirt, plus I don't live near the store to return it. I like your idea of covering the box spring, though.
