full skirt
Wide, flowing bottom
A full skirt is a skirt cut with extra fabric to create volume and movement, flaring out from the waist rather than clinging to the body.
The fullness comes from gathering, pleating, or circular cutting.
Full skirts range from modest A-lines to dramatic ball gowns: She twirled and the full skirt billowed around her.
