Puffball Skirt, also known as a “bubble skirt,” is a voluminous, rounded skirt that cinches at the hem, creating a puffed-out silhouette. Its origins trace back to the 1950s, when designers experimented with exaggerated, feminine shapes in fashion. The puffball skirt saw a resurgence in the 1980s, particularly in avant-garde and high fashion circles, emphasizing bold and playful designs. It became iconic for its dramatic look and unconventional form, often associated with rebellious, experimental style.
