body-hugging
Snug against curves
Body-hugging describes clothing that fits very closely to the contours of the wearer's body, following its curves and lines rather than hanging loosely.
The term suggests a snug, form-fitting garment that reveals the shape beneath: She wore a body-hugging dress to the gala.
Unlike skin-tight, which implies maximum compression, body-hugging suggests a close fit that still allows comfortable movement.
