wiggle dress
Hourglass-hugging garment
A wiggle dress is a form-fitting women's dress with a narrow, tapered skirt that restricts the wearer's stride to a short, swaying gait—hence the name.
The silhouette emphasizes curves through the hips and thighs.
The style became popular in the 1950s and remains associated with vintage or retro fashion: She wore a red wiggle dress to the cocktail party.
