My purchased bedskirts have never stayed in place, always scooting too far under, or not under enough. I use a glue gun to glue them to the mattress. Use a hair dryer to warm the glue a little if you need to remove the bed skirt. A wonderful simple solution.

I was thinking of the elastic idea - but maybe put a place for joining with velcro - like maybe make it in two half pieces joined together with velcro to maybe make it easier to put on and take off for laundering.

You can make them in three separate sections, which can overlap so that they adjust to different sizes of beds. They have a flat piece of fabric sewn along the top (a strip about 4-5 inches wide. That gets attached to the box spring with cork screw upholstery pins. A package of 30 was plenty for a queen size bed. Once it's in that way it stays exactly where you put it until you take the pins out. I didn't make the bed skirt that I did this for, but adapted a king size to fit a queen, and it worked great. That's the only way I'll attach a bed skirt from now on. Even the ones with a full platform tend to inch over from one side to the other and would benefit from having a few of those pins holding them down.
