Has anyone actually bought one?
I know they bring them out in new prints (and slightly different styles) fairly regularly & they keep tempting me but wondering if the quality/fit is any good irl.

This is the sort of thing I mean here

I had one similar to that but don't know of they classed it a wiggle dress. I love it though!

Yes I've got one. Not lined so a nightmare to wear with tights as it just sticks. A nice shape but even without tights, I find myself pulling it down all the time, as the shape of the skirt and the fact that it's meant to be fairly clingy, just means that it rides up. Sorry!

It looks really nice. I have a similar one from a different store and love it.

I've given up on Asos clothes. I bought a wrap-style dress which is OK-ish and I wear it to work but to be honest the quality is absolutely terrible - it is lower quality than New Look for sure. I ordered some great-looking skirts but when they arrived they looked like market stall rejects. Not going there again.

Ah yes, that's been my experience with ASOS clothing too saurus...sigh. I just hoped that because they continue to bring these dresses out in different prints, that they were quite popular (and therefore presumably ok quality).
googlers does yours have any stretch? Some of them are 100% cotton, some have elastane. Wonder if that makes a difference.

I can see that Asos would be great if I were 25, not worried about fabrics (I really don't like polyester now, but didn't even occur to me to think about natural fabrics 15 years ago!), wanted a dress to wear out on Friday night etcetc. And plus, I do think you can wear cheap clothes when you're younger and they look great. Now, not so much (me at least). My tastes have 'stabilised', so when I buy stuff now, I want to know I can still be wearing it in 3 years time.

I've got wiggle dresses from Janescraft & Lindy Bop cheaper than that and better quality.

What defines a dress as a wiggle?

Never heard of them before, need to think about dresses as I've weddings coming up and usually look hideous!!

Could a wiggle be the answer!?
