BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Most short straight skirt, long pleated skirt and long straight chair covers or slip covers are suppose to give your dining room a whole new look and make your old furniture look new again, but at best it leaves the chair and the room looking traditional and old fashion. Although the material is very lovely, the slip cover is thrown off balance with the short straight skirt which shows the legs, or left looking terribly old fashion with the long straight or pleated skirt that ties in the back. These slip covers makes the chair look as if someone has simply thrown a piece of material on it. What is needed is a chair cover that can be designed to fit almost any chair and would make the chair look more contemporary and fashionable, and more natural in design.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Upholstery Dining chair cover can be designed to fit almost any chair and will make the chair look more contemporary and fashionable. This chair cover will also make the chair look as if it had been completely re-upholstered from top to the bottom. The design of this cover will cover the legs on the chair, and it will eliminate the old fashioned skirts. The chair cover will still be easy to use and machine washable. The chair cover is multiple pieces of material sewn together to make a one piece chair cover. It will slide on and off from the top of the armless chair. It has four flaps that folds and attaches together under the seat of the chair, and two front leg flaps, and two back leg flaps that attaches and hold around each leg.

The white linen sewn on the inside of the material serves as a pocket, and opens up to allow for the placement and/or removable of the cushions for the back rest and seat of the cover. The cushion for the back rest and the seat of the cover add extra comfort and fullness. The two (2) front rectangular (Velcro) hook and loop fastener flaps for the legs of the chair are also lightly padded to create fullness and attaches firmly around the legs of the chair.
