Plural of flounce; multiple strips of decorative fabric sewn onto clothing, or multiple instances of bouncy exaggerated movements.
Third-person singular present or plural of 'flounce.' The '-es' ending is the standard English plural/present tense marker.
Counting flounces on a Victorian ball gown was like counting a tree's rings—the more flounces, the more formal and wealthy the wearer, so 'flounces' became a status symbol in fabric decoration.
Plural carries the same gendered connotation as flounce; also fabric trim (gender-neutral in that sense).
If describing movement, avoid assuming frivolity. If describing garment trim, no bias concerns.
