From a text about an Argentine design project from the 50s
De algodón puro, estampada en chablón por blanqueo o corrosión, dicha técnica permitió que la sábana fuera reversible. Este procedimiento se utilizó también en telas para indumentaria femenina, donde era especialmente apreciado para la confección de las “faldas plato” y los volados, muy de moda en los 50, que, con la tela cortada al bies

ruffles
Discussion of what 'volado' means in Argentina here https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/volado-en-telas.1497... It appears that volado in Argentina is the same as volante in Spain.
and the picture it refers shows what I would call 'ruffles' or 'frills'.
Interesting history of the ruffle here
https://www.racked.com/2017/2/13/14461300/ruffle-history
When used in the context of sewing, it refers to a strip of lace, fabric, or ribbon which has been tightly gathered on one end and is sewn to a garment or bedding for trimming. Ruffles in the fashion world are considered to be wider than frills. Ruffles are cut in many different ways. Some are cut from circular pieces of fabric while some are cut from rectangular fabric pieces.
It seems it can also refer to frills but in general ruffles are larger than frills and as this is referring to a skirt, I think ruffle is more likely.
This is an interesting history of fashion video showing skirts with ruffles at 51:10 as a fashion for teenagers in the fifties.
