mermaid skirts

Flared-bottom fitted skirts

A mermaid skirt fits closely through the hips and thighs, then flares dramatically near the knee or calf—the silhouette suggesting a mermaid's tail.

The style appears in formal gowns, wedding dresses, and evening wear, emphasizing curves before the fabric cascades outward: She could barely walk in that mermaid skirt.
