The women kept on dancing while their long
skirts crept up, and their girdles dissolved, and their nipples burst
through like hyacinth tips and their clothes withered away to the mere wisps
and ghosts of draperies to adorn and glorify. In the mid-1980s the
"puffball" skirt, inspired by Vivienne Westwood's 'mini-crini'
designs, enjoyed short term popularity.Many women began to incorporate the
miniskirt into their business attire, a trend which grew during the remainder
of the century. Films and television series made in the mid-1990s show how
common the mini had become again. In the BBC TV series Keeping Up Appearances (1990-5)
the snobbish Hyacinth Bucket was frequently outraged by the brevity
of her sister Rose's skirts.
