Spanish term or phrase: volante
«Montada sobre un ancho faldón fruncido a los lados. Totalmente forrada con pequeño volante en el bajo del forro. »

«Falda mujer: Enagua de algodón Cinturilla elástica. 5 volantes plisados. Bajo con remates en punto de abeja.»

I don't understand the meaning of VOLANTE in this context. In the text it's always related to skirts.

Muchas gracias!
