Puffball skirts - will you be trying them?

They are back. The puffball is deflated compared to the 80s version. I quite like the ones I have seen but it's such a big leap.......

Even at age 14 I had the sense not to wear these.

I remember wearing one to a blacktie dinner when I was about 17. It looked great 'cause it was short in heavy black shot silk. I wore it with high black shoes and black opaque tights - topped off with a black skinny rib cashmere polo neck. As I said I was 17, a size 10, 5'10 with long blond curls. Needless to say I wont be wearing them this time 'round

puddle · 15/09/2005 12:54

No no no, you can't make a cord one! Itr's supposed to be draped that's totally the wrong kind of material....

Nice one in Grazia this week (in article on how to go out looking like 5 kinds of fashion victim)
