What is the difference between an oval and oblong table cloth?
The basic difference between oblong and oval is the shape at the short end. i.e. An oval is rounded at the short end and straight in the middle. To draw them it can be represented as [] =oblong (rectangular) & 0 =oval A true oval tapers to the ends, while an oblong shape has parallel sides (an oblong is an extended square or circle). So if your intent is to put a tablecloth on a round table after adding leaves, an oblong tablecloth would be best. An oval tablecloth of the right length might not be wide enough at some points, and the problem gets worse as you add more leaves. That said, the tablecloth sellers I looked at online all make their "oblong" tablecloths as rectangles, not elongated circles. If you want an elongated circle, to provide even overhangs on a circle with leaves, use a custom tablecloth site. Here is a table linens size chart that may be of some help. http://www.TableclothsForLess.com/tablecloth-sizes.html
What measurements do I take to buy the correct sized table linens?
To find the correct size table linens you have to start with shape: square, oval, oblong, or round. Then you must measure the table and account for drop on the sides. Using this formula should give you an estimated size: Length of table + (desired dropx2)=tablecloth length. Width of table + (desired drop x2 ) = tablecloth width.

What size table does a 60 x 84 tablecloth fit?
A 60 x 84 tablecloth typically fits a table that measures approximately 36 to 48 inches wide and 60 to 72 inches long. The cloth will provide a drop of about 12 to 24 inches on each side, depending on the exact dimensions of the table. This size is ideal for rectangular tables and can also work on some oval tables of similar dimensions.
