It's 3 pieces, one for each side and we are anchoring it with velcro, so we can adjust it as the mattress gets lowered.

I don't think it needs one Beehive on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871809 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:46:01 +0000 Beehive 871809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We stopped using it once the crib was on the lowest setting. It looked nice on the highest setting, and was less nice after that.

Since we aren't doing bumpers I think it will help to make it look a little more finished!

She's on the mid setting now and it's all bunched. lawbee11 on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871592 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:09:09 +0000 lawbee11 871592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. Our crib is modern-looking so I think it looks better without a crib skirt. maybebaby on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871585 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:07:45 +0000 maybebaby 871585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I also made one a la YHL like @MrsRoo. autumnlove on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871581 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:07:35 +0000 autumnlove 871581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsRoo: I need to check out that blog post! prettylizy on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871576 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:06:53 +0000 prettylizy 871576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We did, then when DH dropped her crib the last (and final!*tear*) time he didn't put it back on because he said it didn't look right. I'm skeptical, but not skeptical enough to try and wrangle it in there! lol!

MrsRoo on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871238 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:08:49 +0000 MrsRoo 871238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I made one and used the tips from YoungHouseLove and used Velcro to make it adjustable when we lower our mattress. Hopefully it's as easy as it sounds. rawrasaur on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871234 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:07:07 +0000 rawrasaur 871234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. I didn't see the point. One of the easiest ways to cut down on costs. sunny on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871231 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:06:52 +0000 sunny 871231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup but the mattress is still pretty high up, though not at the highest setting. lovehoneybee on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871206 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:01:20 +0000 lovehoneybee 871206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, his poor crib is so plain. Smurfette on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871176 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:54:07 +0000 Smurfette 871176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep! But we have our mattress on the Highest setting. When we lower it I want to find a way to keep it on there. Maybe pin it up. Adira on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871171 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:51:46 +0000 Adira 871171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, but the mattress is on the highest setting. The crib skirt already drags on the floor a bit, so once we lower the mattress at all, I'll probably get rid of it. fairy on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871170 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:51:31 +0000 fairy 871170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mattress is also on the highest setting and we use one. I like the way it makes the crib look more complete, and the skirt we have matches the wall color. :) swedishfish on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871166 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:50:50 +0000 swedishfish 871166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have one on now but the mattress is on the highest setting. autumnlove on "Do you use a crib skirt?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-crib-skirt-1#post-871163 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:48:48 +0000 autumnlove 871163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I stopped using one with my LO's crib because it was too hard to put it in on the lowest setting.
