billowy
Like cumulus clouds
Billowy describes something that swells, undulates, or puffs out like a wave or a sail filled with wind.
Clouds are billowy when they mass in soft, rounded heaps.
Fabric is billowy when it flows loosely rather than lying flat: a billowy white dress, billowy curtains.
The word suggests gentle fullness and movement.
