 Hi ladies
You must be thinking...well that's the most boring forum discussion title I've ever seen! Sorry about that!
I'm onto chair covers at the moment and getting some prices in from a few companies. I was just about to go with a good price for some linen covers, when another company e-mailed me beating the other prices socks off, for their "polycotton" covers. What I'm wondering is, has anybody seen these two materials and do they look very similar? I know they aren't talking about those stretchy spandex type covers, they are loose fitting ones, which is what I wanted to go for, but worried about the material quality? Does anybody have any advice to help please?

 Ask for samples just to be sure. We are having polycotton as my chair cover company doesn't do linen anymore due to creasing etc (i guess they would probably need pressing after transport). The poly cotton looked fine although the feel of it wasn't as nice as i hoped. Once she'd put the bow on though i was very pleased with it.
I'd def ask for a sample though as ours also did a lycra type cover which i though looked a little too shiny/stretchy etc, but i guess it depends on taste.
Nothing is too boring hun! I was getting very excited over bows last month!
