trumpet skirt

Fitted then flaring

A trumpet skirt fits closely through the hips and thighs, then flares out dramatically near the knee or below, resembling the bell of a trumpet.

The silhouette creates a sleek upper line with a flourish at the hem: She wore a fitted trumpet skirt to the cocktail party.

Similar to a mermaid skirt but typically with a higher flare point.
