What is a wiggle dress?

A wiggle dress is a close-fitting, form-fitting dress that flares out slightly at the hem, creating a flattering hourglass shape. Wiggle dresses are typically knee-length or shorter and are often made from stretchy fabrics such as jersey or spandex. They are typically associated with the 1950s and early 1960s, when they were popularized by celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Wiggle dresses are still popular today and are often worn to parties, clubs, and other special occasions.
