• Hobble skirt-
• Although restrictive skirts first appeared in
  Western fashion in 1880s, the term was first used
  in reference to a short-lived trend of narrow
  skirts in around 1910-1913. The Parisian fashion
  designer Paul Poiret is sometimes credited with
  the design, inspired by the widespread Oriental
  influence on Western culture, but in fact the
  extreme hobble skirt is an evolution of the
  narrowing skirt seen in fashion since the turn of
  the century.
