Quilted skirts like in these pictures were another favorite of The Era.  The skirts were heavy enough to push the underlying crinies into the legs - must have been a special feeling!

This attractive tucked up skirt style comes and goes - many today call this a  bubble dress but, in The Era they were only popular for a short while. A variation, then known as the 'sack' dress, also featured a bouffant skirt, but it was closed at the bottom, filled with tulle, and banded back up against the legs , in  a sort of a hobble.  This usually took the form of a 'cocktail' (early evening) dress, another word which seems to have been lost. Does anyone have more pictures of this style they'd be willing to share?
