A Bouffant Dress is a dress with a voluminous, puffed skirt that creates a strong sense of airiness and a sculptural silhouette. It is defined by its dramatic volume and bold shape. Common elements include a widely flared skirt, layered underskirts or structured supports such as tulle or petticoats, cinched waist design, lightweight or structured fabrics such as taffeta, tulle, or satin, and solid or ornate detailing. The overall style emphasizes grandeur, dimension, and visual impact, creating an elegant, formal look reminiscent of ball gowns.
