Cotton Bubble Dress

Its a plain black cotton bubble dress.
Strapless, though at the moment it has a thin halter strap that i attached last time i wore it.
It was not an expensive dress but I want to fancy it up, what can I do or how can I alter or add to it too make it stand out?!

Sew a bit of ruffley net or lace to the bottom too make it look like a petticoat or something sticking out. A bright color, like hot pink. Add a brooch to it at the top off centered. Or wear a bright belt around it.

I'm trying to make a bubble dress and can't seem to figure out how they're typically made. When you look inside a bubble skirt, what do you see? Is the length of the fabric just extra long so that the edge is pulled up inside to the waist? Or is there some sort of elastic that goes around the bottom of the skirt that pulls it in to create that bubble shape?

Also, I'm making a dress with a stiffer cotton fabric to create a more volumous shape, if that helps at all.

I'm pretty sure it's just a piece of fabric folded under and sewn back up at the waist... sort of like a "U" shape. I'm not sure stiffer fabric would work, because you want it to be loose, swingy, and flowy.

There's this country club and they have a party like twice a year. It's just kids and it's sorta like bar mitzvah attire. I went to the one in the fall and I wore this dress:

Except the dress I wore had tank top sleeves and was cinched at the bust, like a babydoll top.

So the spring one is coming up in March and I'm looking for a dress to wear. Preferably not too expensive. I really like the style of the dress above. People wear short bubble tank dresses to this dance, sorta like this one:

I like that one a lot, but I would like other options as well. So a bubble tank dress sorta like that? Links please?

Thanks so much!
