billowier

Fuller with air

Billowier is the comparative form of billowy, describing something that swells, puffs, or undulates more than something else.

Clouds, fabric, and smoke are typically described this way: Her dress was even billowier than the bridesmaids' gowns.

The word evokes soft, voluminous movement.
