It's that dainty twirl that female characters do when they wear a full skirt or dress. In general, it's done to emphasize either how lovely the item is and/or how much the wearer loves it. It also denotes the youthful, cheerful girlishness of the character herself, or otherwise give off that impression. It's sometimes done with wedding and/or prom dresses. A Tomboy with a Girly Streak will likely do this when she has a pretty dress she wouldn't normally wear. Often used as a Modeling Pose (even with a miniskirt as long as it flowed). A Sub-Trope of Spectacular Spinning. Compare Cape Swish and Every Proper Lady Should Curtsy. |

In Slayers, when Lina has a "princess fantasy" early in the anime's first season, it involves a pimped out dress and this trope. The girliness is likely to contrast what she's usually like. | |

The Rose Gardener: Helene, who is over 80 years old, gives "a twirl that sent the skirt of her white dress flying." She's happy after having dinner with Kevin, the gay neighbor who pays attention to Helene because she gives him money.

In the Super Smash Bros. series, Peach and Daisy both do this, befitting their Princess Classic style. They also weaponize it: in their up and down smash attacks, the skirt's twirl extends the hurtbox of their Super Cute Superpowers, letting them get opponents at a distance that can catch close-in fighters by surprise. | |
