wiggle dresses

Tight, curvy silhouettes

A wiggle dress is a form-fitting women's dress with a narrow, tapered skirt that restricts stride to a subtle wiggle when walking.

The silhouette—cinched waist, fitted hips, hemline at or below the knee—evokes 1950s glamour and remains popular in retro fashion: She wore a red wiggle dress to the cocktail party.
