I had an opportunity to look for table cloths yesterday and wanted to save the looks I found for future reference. I was looking for a natural linen color. I found a few that were real linen but didn't want to pay $150.00 a cloth, so I quickly left their sites without saving the info. Here are the less expensive choices (though some are still so expensive I wouldn't choose them either - they are more for a comparison).
90 inch round table cloths - natural linen color/style:
From Crate and Barrel
(on sale at this time for $99.95, down from $146.95)
--
From Amazon
($66.99, down from $138.00)
--
From Amazon
(this has a print, so it's not really the linen look, it's just the lighter color. $40.30)
--
From Amazon
(For a case of 10 camel color cloths - $168.41, down from $197.10)
--
From Overstock.com
(Pack of 5 cloths for $111.00)
--
From JCP
(another print, not my favorite, added for comparison - $20.00, down from $40.00)

Showing this next cloth for the seam look.
Purchase linen fabric and make your own cloths - usually the fabric is no wider than about 58 inches, so for a 90 inch cloth more fabric would be needed. Sew a piece to the sides of the fabric instead of having the seam in the middle. It would look similar to these burlap cloths from Amazon.

From Ali Express
(print, but love the lace, however it might have too much gold - would love to see the real thing. - $10.88)
--
Lastly - A piece of fabric wide enough that it wouldn't need pieced together, just cut and hem. Or, sew on a lovely piece of lace like the cloth above. From Warehouse Fabrics Inc.
(Primitive Wheat 108" Wide - Code: PREWHT - $8.98 per yard)

Remember that some times curtains or bedding can be used for table cloths too! Found this image on google - directing to this site.

I love linen - it's such a great look and feel! Many of the cloths above are polyester with a natural color, but real linen is pretty cool stuff. I wish it wasn't so expensive.
I purchased some brown linen fabric for our Thanksgiving table cloth, shown here, and love it.
I found this fabric too (at JoAnn's - in store), and anxiously await the time to use it.
The front side has a shiny floral print, and the back side is just the linen, so it could even be reversible if I did the hem just right.
Wait now, did I say hem?
I didn't even hem my brown cloth and it's lovely as it is. (I did trim the run-away threads though.) However, if I made round table cloths with this fabric - that is what we are talking about in this post - I might have to hem them.
Maybe a trim added to the edge, like this from Our Vintage Home Love, would look nice???? I don't know if I could get it that smooth though.

Speaking of shiny ... I did find this at Sears - it's gold, so it's probably not the color shown here, and it's only 70 inches. They do have a white set. ( 2-pc set - $14.99)
Well, these are my finds - if you have found some great linen cloths I'd love to hear about them - leave a comment or send me an email (my address is at the top of the column at right).
Happy Tablescaping!
(I know that's not a real word - but I love it anyway - it's all about creating!)
