Fit & Silhouette

Bodycon

Bodycon — short for body-conscious — describes close-fitting garments, usually dresses, that hug the body's curves from chest to hem. Made from stretch fabrics like jersey or ponte, bodycon styles follow your shape closely rather than draping away from it.

Because a bodycon fit reveals the line of the body, the fabric does the work: a heavier ponte or scuba knit smooths and holds, while a thin jersey clings to everything. That's why the same size can look very different depending on the material.

Bodycon is the opposite of an A-line or relaxed silhouette — there's no room built in, so it relies entirely on stretch for fit and comfort.
