It depends on how dimensional the embellishments are and how long the skirt is. If the flowers are tight pom-poms the size of golf balls and the skirt is short, it'll make her crazy when sitting.

If they're large and the skirt hangs to her knees or lower, they won't press between the chair and her legs/behind and shouldn't pose a problem.

If the embellishments are small, I'd go all the way around the perimeter. It will look better that way, not like an afterthought.

My thoughts are of laundering--are you creating an ironing nightmare for your daughter or daughter-in-law?

Isn't sewing fun?

Thanks, those are good thoughts. I'll check just where it will fall. I believe the fabric is 50/50 cotton/polyester so I think it'll be ok as far as ironing goes. I can't get to it til tomorrow to check this out. Have company coming today.

Yes, sewing is fun, tho all the different aspects to think about sure makes my head spin sometimes.

thanks again.
