    Abstract: Bed dust ruffles, or bed skirts, made from fabric that encloses the open area under a crib or bed. The invention comes in five pieces, one is the base, which is placed on top of the box spring or frame and under the mattress, two skirting pieces are for the ends of the head and foot and two skirting pieces are for the sides. The skirting pieces connect to the base using hook and loop strips which are securely sewn to each piece. Because bed's range in height off the floor and crib springs are adjusted as the child grows, the skirts have adjustable lengths. Each of the skirt pieces have a removable section attached to the bottom edge using hook and loop. For cribs this piece is eight inches and for regular beds the piece is six inches.
