gathered skirt

Fabric drawn in

A gathered skirt is a skirt made by bunching fabric at the waistband, creating fullness and soft folds that fall from the waist.

The gathering technique draws extra material into a smaller band, producing a flowing silhouette: She wore a gathered skirt that swayed when she walked.

Common in casual and bohemian styles.
