Decorated with flounces, or characterized by exaggerated bouncy and showy movements or style.
From 'flounce' plus the adjectival suffix '-y,' giving it the sense of 'full of' or 'having the quality of.' Well-established in English since the 19th century to describe both clothing and movement.
Flouncy is British English's way of being gently mocking—you wouldn't say someone is 'theatrical' or 'exaggerated,' you'd say they're being 'a bit flouncy,' which sounds smaller but cuts deeper!
Adjective form of flounce; condensed feminine-coded dismissal, especially in British English. Often applied to women to trivialize.
Avoid as character descriptor. If used for fabric/garment style, specify clearly.
["ruffled","elaborately trimmed"]
