I happened upon a couple of posts on other blogs about the bubble or “bouffant” skirts. One difference for us is that the skirts we make have to allow for the dancing and kicking while the skirts the posts reference are pencil skirts underneath on models strutting down the runway. However, the info about the construction is interesting.

OOH! I love the Betsy Ross blog/explanation. Ann, thank you for taking the time (AGAIN!!) to organize this info for us. You are a rock star;) I will make a bubble this year;) Kris
