Abstract
Disclosed is a one-piece removable slipcover with a seat hood at one end and a back hood at another end for attaching the slipcover to the back and seat of an office chair. A loose drape may be included to provide a more comprehensive covering for the back of the chair. A first tying system may be employed to help better secure the slipcover to an office chair and prevent it from shifting or bunching with use, and to create a more fitted appearance. A second tying system, utilizing a slot integrated or attached to the bottom end of a drape, may also be used for these purposes.
