I always saw it in literature as "putting her nose in the air, she flounced out of the room" or something like that. In looking it up, the ASTM specifies two tests for "flounce" - one for mattresses and bedding, the other for "soft window decorations" (drapery, I'd imagine). I never thought of it as something that needs testing. Cheers, Bryan Cheers, Bryan You are only wretched and unworthy if you choose to be.
