Although restrictive skirts first appeared in Western fashion in around 1880, the term was first used in reference to a short-lived trend of narrow skirts in around 1913.
The Parisian fashion designer Paul Poiret is sometimes credited with the design but in fact the extreme of the hobble skirt is an evolution of the narrowing skirt seen in fashion since the turn of the century.
Hobble skirts are still present today in goth and BDSM communities, but are also sometimes used as evening gowns and wedding dresses and sometimes in other occasions although rarely due to restricting properties.

 The Hobble Skirt Page - Start
The term 'hobble skirt' came into popular use in the early 1910s, when a European fashion trend started by French designer Paul Poiret introduced long skirts that were narrow at the hem, thus 'hobbling' the wearer, though long narrow skirts themselves appeared earlier, around 1880.
Today, however, the hobble skirt is a popular item among fans of fetish clothes, as well as some of the highly fashionable, thanks to modern designers such as Karl Lagerfield.
The modern hobble skirts are generally ankle-length and narrow all the way down, often made from materials such as latex and PVC.

 Orientalism in Dress 1910s Fashion History
Having liberated women by putting them into pants Poiret then sought to design extremes and became famous for designing a hobble skirt which drew the legs closely together as it was so narrow.
To increase the hobble effect women needed to wear a 'fetter', a kind of bondage belt that held the ankles together and prevented the wearer from making any movements other than small steps in imitation of Geisha girls.
The hobble skirt was probably Poiret's last real success as new designers like Chanel and Lanvin opened up Fashion Houses and began to design unrestrictive clothes that women really felt comfortable wearing.
