These skirts are brilliant little pieces that are loose at their middle sections and fold inwards at the ends. Thus due to the folds, the skirt gets volume and the outfit ends up looking like a stylish little balloon or bubble and hence the name. The style first originated in 1950s and 1980s and continues to be a popular style till date.
The best material possible, out of the large variety that you get to choose from, for this kind of a skirt has to be a smooth, shiny, soft fabric like silk, satin, lycra-although there are no restrictions to the type of fabric one can use, but these are supposedly the best for the same, to give the bubble a soft curve. Due to the volume that this skirt adds to the figure, its best suited for the apple shaped women. Rachel Bilson (‘The Last Kiss’ Party), Rihanna (Teen Choice Award) and America Ferreira (Premier, ‘Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants’) have all worn dresses inspired by the bubble trend. It’s fun, flirty and very girly. Its time you get one custom made for yourself!
