I had a few of these skirts in the 80s and loved them all! I still own two of them. Here in the US we called them bubble skirts. My favorite is my mini-length black satin skirt that had netting inside the bubble to make it more puffy. Im so happy to see the bubble skirt/puffball skirt making a comeback today!
Bring back sum memories of 1987, I use to wear mine at discos and dress just like Shirley and Pepsi, I wore a white one wiv pink braces, i still have my skirt tuck up in the loft..They were really good times in the eighties the big hair and jewellery.. I lol now and think were has the time gone!
That one in the photo is lovely. i want it!
Christian LaCroix's design was a single puff, not the tiered look shown in the photo.
