The girl can't help it (wiggle dress)

"If she walks by, the men folk get engrossed,
(she can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she walks by, the bread slice turns to toast,
(she can't help it, the girl can't help it)"
-"The girl can't help it", Little Richard

The "wiggle" dress is a dress with a tight, tapered skirt that doesn't allow for normal-sized steps, forcing the wearer to "wiggle" as she walks. Popular among blonde bombshells like Jayne Maynsfield and Marilyn Monroe, the dress enhanced a sexy hourglass shape. The dress is experiencing a resurgence in popularity because of shows like AMC's Mad Men. Its appeal is no surprise if you look at Jayne's wiggle in "The Girl Can't Help It":
