Why Are Bubble Dresses Making A Comeback?
The iconic silhouette is not new to the fashion scene – it first attained its fame in the late 1980s thanks to Princess Diana, when she paired a striped puffball dress with a cream double-breasted blazer at the Cannes Film Festival in 1987. It has since grown in popularity, and has recently been worn by stars including Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter and Kylie Jenner. Flounces and ruffles have also been seen adorning these particular styles.
So, now you know the history – fancy integrating this staple into your future fits? Read on for our styling tips.
Maxi Dresses
While vibrant maxi dresses are guaranteed to make a statement at any event, you can opt for neutrals and still grasp the iconic balloon silhouette. From deep reds and pinks to monochrome blacks and whites, the maxi bubble dress stands out from the crowd.

Mini Dresses
A flirtier, elevated version of the standard mini dress, puffball mini dresses call for knee high boots and statement jewelry. The short-and-sweet, cloudy silhouette is perfect for spring weddings and birthdays; it’s a whimsical, romantic option for both spring and summer.

Midi Dresses
Puffball midi dresses are ideal for the warmer months – especially if you’re after a lightweight option, or if you want to showcase a perfect pair of shoes to match. Although they’re similar to maxis, they can often be more fitted and tailored, which could come in handy for a more formal event.
