Banding Styles

Banding can be added to the bottom of the skirt in rows of 1, 3, 5 or 7 bands. Typical band styles are described below and samples are shown in the following image. There are literally thousands of combinations to satisfy your imagination. If you happen to pick a combination that doesn't work well together, I will gladly advise you of alternate solutions.
