Вот разница между flounce, ruffle и frill:

Flounce (волан) – это широкая, ниспадающая оборка, пришитая к ткани без сборок или складок. Она создаёт плавный волнистый эффект, так как обычно кроится по косой или полукругом.

🔹 Пример: юбка с широкими воланами, оборки на платье.

Ruffle (рюши, сборки) – это узкая или средняя по ширине оборка, которая создаётся за счёт сборок или складок по одному краю. В отличие от flounce, рюши делают ткань более пышной и придают текстурный эффект.

🔹 Пример: рюши на рукавах блузы, воротнике или по краю платья.

Frill (оборка, кружево) – это общий термин для любых декоративных элементов с оборками, рюшами или воланами. Часто используется для описания мелких, изящных украшений на одежде.

🔹 Пример: кружевные оборки на платье, декоративные элементы на рубашке.

📌 Кратко:

Flounce → широкий, волнистый волан без сборок.

Ruffle → узкая или средняя сборчатая оборка.

Frill → общий термин для всех видов декоративных оборок.
