The Balloon Skirt is a midi-length skirt featuring a flared silhouette, a straight waistband, a concealed zip closure at the back, and side seam pockets. Designed for versatility, this skirt offers two style options: with or without the distinctive balloon effect.
Suggested Fabrics:
Light to medium-weight fabrics are ideal. The balloon option works best in a fabric with some structure to hold the balloon shape, while the skirt without the balloon looks beautiful in a fabric with drape. The balloon skirt in the images is made of black silk, while the non-balloon skirt is sewn in a medium-weight wool blend.
