Parsons chairs are popular dining room chairs, with upholstered backs that adjoin upholstered seats. The lines are very tailored and straight, and there is often a floor-length skirt. These one-piece slipcovers conceal the entire chair and have skirts with inverted box pleats at the corners.
These directions are suitable for chairs with straight backs. The upper edge of the chair back must be no wider than the lower back, or you won’t be able to slip the cover on. When measuring the front and back of the chair back, measure as if there are centered side seams, even if the seams on the upholstered chair are not centered.
The skirt for this style is self-lined, eliminating any noticeable hemline and giving the skirt extra body.
