furbelow

\FUR-buh-low\, noun:
1. A pleated or gathered flounce on a woman's garment; a ruffle.

--Look at Hildegaard, shaking her furbelows like it's 1899!


2. Something showy or superfluous; a bit of showy ornamentation.

I appreciate a nice furbelow like anyone else, but a candlestick fashioned to look like a nude Jerry Lee Lewis in his prime, to me that's just excessive!
