Decide how much overhang you want from your tablecloth. For most purposes, an overhang or drop length of at least 6 inches (15cm) is appropriate. A shorter drop length may make the tablecloth look too small for the table.
Standard sizes for common round tables: 1  48 inch round table: 70 inch cloth. 2  60 inch round table: 90 inch cloth for a drop that goes halfway to the floor, 120 inch for a full drop. For the square-on-round look, an 85 inch square tablecloth is used on to of a 120 inch round tablecloth.
