noun
Povera vecchia mamma, piangeva sempre, ma la mia governante cuciva delle balze all'orlo dei miei vestiti.
Poor old Mater, she used to be in tears, but my ayah just sewed flounces at the bottom of my frocks.
Stasera, signore, vi offriremo una festa con abiti stupendi, fronzoli e balze.
Tonight we are going to treat you ladies to a feast of gorgeous frocks, frills and flounces.
Dovreste ravvivarmi le balze dell'abito, renderlo piu' vaporoso, rassettarmi, passarmi i fazzoletti e dirmi di non piangere di gioia.
I should be flounced and fluffed up and checked over and handed tissues and told not to cry with joy.
Quindi... basandoci sull'orlo delle balze della gonna e l'elasticita' della tua pelle, direi che hai circa 25 anni.
So, based on the flounce hem of your skirt and the elasticity of your skin, I'd say you're in your mid-20s.
