Style editor Miranda Furtado shows you how to sew very cute bubble skirt. A bubble skirt is a short skirt with a balloon style silhouette. Bubble skirts are designed to billow out on the bottom and sides, while fitting tightly at the waistline, usually with a wide embellished elastic waistband. Bubble skirts are sometimes referred to as a tulip skirts. Bubble skirts usually reach mid thigh, but are sometimes shorter. Bubble miniskirts often had shorts sewn in underneath the skirt, or were worn over knee length tights.
