Abstract

A reversible slipcover for a piece of furniture including a base, a back, first and second arms, and a seat portion. The reversible slipcover includes a back, two back ruffles sewn to be substantially parallel to one another and to respective sides of the back such that same fabric sides of the two ruffles match same respective fabric sides of the back, a center belt loop located between the two ruffles, and a reversible elastic with end tabs for securing the slipcover to the furniture. The elastic with end tabs traverses between the two back ruffles through the center belt loop and is secured to buttons attached to the slipcover at respective back corners such that the fabric of the end tabs coordinates with the visible side of the reversible slipcover fabric.
