Starting with a purchased white slipcover, you can get amazing looks for your basic Parsons chair. On this chair, preppy cording glued or whipstiched along the slipcover seams at the back and seat emphasizes the chair’s formal lines. Mix in a fun dressmaker detail with coordinating covered buttons spaced at wide intervals down the chair’s spine.
