"eingestülpt" - does this mean turned-in skirts - not sure whether this actually makes sense!

The skirts have "turned-in" hems, so that they almost look like short (!) Turkish-style trousers

@Austrianlassie: You're certainly right in so far as there are different styles of skirts being called "tulip skirts". The examples I had found (particularly at ";www.luckywang.com/tulipskirts.htm") resemble a swinging bell more than a tulip without the hem being turned in. And the puffball skirts I've found correspond to the picture that refers to the article to be translated (";www.faz.net/...")

Puffball Skirt
Ich gehe von den Bildern aus, die ich im Anhang hier gefunden habe aber danach zu urteilen sieht die Geschichte sehr nach "Tulpenröcken", also sogenannten puffball skirts aus.

Tulip skirt
Kerstin has already mentioned the "Tulpen"- style and her term "puffball skirt" is correct.
However, "tulip skirt" is the exact same type of skirt but a different name for this type of garment.
This term seems to be used more frequently, in my experience.

Example sentence:
"Tulip skirts are this season's must have fashion item."

Dorothea Rose
: If you look at the pictures of various links for "tulip skirts", they look totally different from what the pic of the "eingestülpte Röcke" looks like: www.dopasocorner.com/TDSDesigns/Skirts/Tulip/tulipskirts.ht... or www.luckywang.com/tulipskirts.htm

Have another browse and you will find that these are indeed the same fashion garment, only difference being the "puffball" skirt is - well - "puffier" than the tulip version.
