I’m sure you’ve heard the term “wiggle dress,” but what exact does that mean? Well, it’s a dress, popularized in the 1950s, in which the hemline is narrower than the hip. It gives a long, lean silhouette, and, yes, that slim hemline requires you to wiggle when you walk.

My pals over at Sammy D Vintage have a great history on this sexy dress! The silhouette of this 1950s vintage wiggle dress went out of fashion as the 60s rolled on, meaning this style was only popular for about a decade. Yet, it’s become iconic in its own right.

And if you love vintage dresses, especially those from the 1960s, I have a ton in stock! If you love this beauty, you’ll probably also like adorable blue handmade petal dress from the 60s. And can we talk about how adorable this 1960s snail print dress is?

This sweet dress is perfect for any occasion, maybe even a wedding! I could definitely see this gorgeous dress with a pillbox hat or fascinator, some dainty gloves, and sweet lilies on the way down the aisle or standing in front of that Elvis impersonator on the Vegas strip.
