overskirt
Decorative skirt overlay
An overskirt is a skirt worn over another skirt, typically shorter or open at the front to reveal the underskirt beneath.
Common in Victorian fashion and modern formal wear, overskirts add volume or decorative layering: The wedding dress featured a detachable overskirt.
In theatrical costumes, overskirts create period silhouettes.
