flamenco dress

Tiered Spanish garment

A flamenco dress is the traditional costume worn by female flamenco dancers, characterized by a fitted bodice, ruffled sleeves, and a long skirt with tiered ruffles (volantes) that flare dramatically during spins and footwork.

The dresses are typically bold in color—red, black, polka-dotted—and designed to accentuate the dancer's movements.

Also called a traje de flamenca or bata de cola when featuring a train.
