flossy

Resembling floss.

Extravagantly showy; flashy

When a flossy girl comes along the street granting alike to the interested and the uninterested a sight of several inches of white stockings above her high boots, one's mind harks back to dear old Mother Goose, and the woman who went to market her eggs for to sell.

The latest example of 30's camp-nostalgia opened last week at the Colonial for a three-week run; it is a big, flossy, stylish revival of Good News (vintage 1927), with Alice Faye, John Payne, and would you believe Stubby Kaye?

A female given name, diminutive of Florence.
