Retailers like stretchandcover.com understand the need to ensure the proper fit for your slipcovers, which is why when ordering they ask for specific measurements.  For example, when ordering slipcovers of your dining room furniture, you will need to include the height of the back of the chair, the width and depth of the seat, and the distance from the floor to the seat.  All of this is to ensure the best possible fit.  One slipcover they offer is the Medium Dining Room Chair Cover with a Short Skirt in Cobble Stone Chenille.  This attractive cordovan material features a monochromatic polka dot design, with the actual design appearing in the texture rather than the print.  Each slipcover sells for $11.95.

At amazon.com, you will find the Catania Loosefit Sofa Cover.  This is a slipcover that fits sofas measuring 80 to 86 inches, arm to arm.  The intricate floral design in burgundy on cream creates a large polka dot effect from afar.  The fabric is a combination of rayon, polyester, and cotton, and can be spot cleaned or dry cleaned.  This product sells for $42.65. 

For those families who have decked out their child's bedroom with a kid's arm chair from the Pottery Barn, the PDC Furniture Pink Polka Dot Cover is available.  This is a delightful pink slipcover with white polka dots, which will be beloved by every little girl who gets to have one in her room.  You can purchase this product at sears.com for $40.00.
