What is a wiggle dress?
1 Answer
A wiggle dress is a dress that falls just below the knee and has a hemline that is narrower than your waist. It is a figure-hugging dress that might add some pep to your walk, resulting in a “wiggle” in your hip. Wiggle dresses came about in the 1950s. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and designer evening dresses and gowns from top fashion boutiques around the world.
