body con

Skin-tight dress style

Body con (also bodycon) describes clothing designed to hug the figure tightly, emphasizing the wearer's curves.

Short for "body conscious," the term applies especially to stretchy dresses and skirts made from form-fitting fabrics: She wore a black body con dress to the club.

The style became popular in the 1980s and remains a nightlife staple.
