Spanish term

faldas plato

Spanish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
THis is a text about an Argentine design project from the 50s. I am seeing images online, but I am not sure what I am seeing is called a hoop skirt.
Thanks

De algodón puro, estampada en chablón por blanqueo o corrosión, dicha técnica permitió que la sábana fuera reversible. Este procedimiento se utilizó también en telas para indumentaria femenina, donde era especialmente apreciado para la confección de las “faldas plato” y los volados, muy de moda en los 50, que, con la tela cortada al bies, se movían al caminar mostrando su revés.

circle skirts

Interesting video on the difference between falda campana, falda plato y falda doble plato.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwYElhAKCBY&ab_channel=Sandr...

A skirt cut in sections to make one or more circles with a hole for the waist, so the skirt is very full but hangs smoothly from the waist without darts, pleats, or gathers.

And in this video they say that a falda doble circular can also be referred to as a falda doble plato. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxClZ_C-QgY&ab_channel=Amigo...

Thank you Muriel.
agree Helena Chavarria : I must have made over a hundred. Not for me I hasten to add, but for my students when I was a ballet teacher.
