As shown in the images below, a slip cloth is one that sits on top of an already placed tablecloth (the base tablecloth), at an angle to the base tablecloth. The dimensions of the slip cloth will usually differ from those of the base tablecloth so we have introduced a calculator that will calculate the dimensions of the slip cloth. Slip cloths are suitable for round and square tables and the calculator will help you determine the appropriate size based on how much of the base tablecloth you wish to be exposed.
