Definicja i Znaczenie "hobble skirt"

What is a "hobble skirt"?

A hobble skirt is a tight-fitting skirt that was popular during the early 20th century. The skirt was narrow at the hemline and tapered towards the knee, which restricted the wearer's movement. This style of skirt was often made of heavy fabrics such as wool or tweed, which made it even more difficult to walk or climb stairs while wearing it. The hobble skirt was often worn with high heels or boots to elongate the leg line and enhance the overall effect. The style fell out of fashion after World War I but has occasionally made a comeback in modern fashion.
