Spanish term or phrase: hicieron chirigotas de la fracesita
Contexto:

Todos iban con sus respectivas esposas, que rivalizaban entre sí por el lujo esplendoroso de sus trajes, dando lugar a que un cronista social aludiera a ellos como "el póstumo grito de la moda". Por cierto que vale la pena de consignar el hecho de que cuando otros cronistas hicieron chirigotas de la fracesita, el autor de ella, ni corto ni perezoso, salió del paso explicando que los modelos lucidos en la noche de marras eran tan definitivos y superlativos, que después de ellos bien se podía esperar la extinción de las modas femininas, porque ya no habría otros modelos que pudiesen superarlos.

Mil Gracias,

Barbara
