Hi!
A friend of mine with four kids said she used a dust ruffle on her crib for her first two kids, but not with the last two because it was a huge pain. With raising and lowering the drop side the ruffle kept getting caught and she'd have to re-organize it constantly so it would lay right.
Is this a common problem with dust ruffles? If so, why are they so popular for decoration (i.e. included in most crib bedding sets)?
Is there a dust ruffle length that works better - such as don't get anything less than 10 or 12 inches (I think 8" is the most common measurement I have seen)?
I'm looking favorably upon the Glenna Jean Serengetti crib ruffle, but it's expensive (like almost $90!!!). Since I think I'm not getting a comforter or bumper, I was going to splurge on this beautiful ruffle so there would be some decoration on the crib. But maybe I shouldn't bother with the ruffle?
Your thoughts and experiences are very much appreciated! :)
