Puffball/egg shaped skirts

very funny article kit...:lol:
we actually called it a pouf skirt in my day...in my neck of the woods...and i still have a couple tucked away in my parents' attic...:ninja:...

(yes, i keep everything...i figure it will all be back eventually and so far that has proven to be true..!)

pouf skirt sounds more inviting to me than puffball...i definitely don't want to look like a puffball...:lol:...but i am a fan of eating...LOL...
 
what exactly does a "pouf" skirt look like? ?_?

...thanks so much for posting that article, kit...it's absolutely hilarious

But those of us who actually do eat carbohydrates after 6pm know that concealment can be all. As we all learned with Ugg boots and giant parkas, if you wear an oversized garment, like a puffball, the rest of you will look smaller. No one - except someone with a very odd concept of weight distribution - would look at a person in a puffball skirt, with their (relatively) slim legs sticking out and think, "My goodness, isn't that woman's **** the size of Mauritius, particularly in relation to her legs?" More likely, they will be marvelling at how (again, relatively) svelte your legs are, not to mention envying the fact that you could eat a bucket of KFC and still have plenty of room to breathe whereas they, in their silly body tight number, couldn't eat so much as a sprig of parsley without their seams busting out.

And this brings us to another happy happenstance about the puffball - that one can eat in it. Too many garments seem to forget that ladies have been known to have a meal from time to time. Pencil skirts and slinky dresses don't fit if your stomach enjoys a post-prandial bloat, and there is now even a term - muffin top - for that inevitable bulge that tips over the top of one's hipster jeans. A puffball is brilliantly designed to waft over what ladies' magazines like to call "one's problem areas" - specifically, the tum and the bum - leaving plenty of space for breathing and muffins.

.....:rofl:

i admitt i am a fan of the puff-but then again i like my legs more than my bum. and i really like those balenciaga skirts.
 
Its is so hot! I really like it. Ofcourse you can go really puffy or just like a little full on the sides...I think it depends on your look and comfort level.

Sounds a bit like a dyslexic Julian Clary to me...

I like this whole Pufball thing but I like mini-crinis too.
 
I call them balloon skirts because they go out and in again at the hem. Anyway I never wore them before but I absolutely adore them and their shape to me is really fresh. :heart:
 
Very funny article, very very funny......I mean, muffin-top, I've never heard it refered to as that before!!!!

Overall I can't say I like them, puffball, pouf, tulip, balloon, whatever you wanna call them. I'm a fan of slim and lean....but that's just me. It is interesting to see the workmanship behind some of the ones being shown on the runway though, I will say that.
 
I have a short striped pouf skirt with a little side pocket, I really love it, unfortunately I'm only one of few who does adore the thing. :lol:
 
I find them oh-so-cute, even the 80's puffball promdresses
 
I love this new trend, I hope it doesn't become that big, I don't wanna see it in Bebe or anything like that...

I loved this season's YSL take on the poof skirts, the white one w/ the black buttons shown on Vogue's last fashion spread :heart:

I think that they are called puffball skirts over here because ' pouf ' is a term used for a very camp gay man - VERY unPC !!!

A pouf can also be a kind of squat cylindrical upholstered ' stool ' , made usually of leather or its imitation . To compare a skirt shape to one of these is like referring to extremely low-rise women's jeans as ' muffin tops ' . :lol:

There's the old joke about the conservative trad englishman saying to the stereotypical breton - shirted , beret wearing frenchman , ' Pouvez - vous.......? ' .

Only to get the reply , ' Toujours darlink , toujours !!! ' :o :lol:
 
^^ haha oh i love that joke :rofl:

I like this trend...wouldn't wear it myself though :doh: and loved the mini-crini's i saw at the vivienne westwood exhibition :flower: I like the more tulip shapes as opposed to the full on puff-ball for day to day kinda wear
