English term or phrase: slinky
The word doesn't seem to have an equivalent in Turkish. The meanings I am looking for is as follows:-
1(Of a garment) fitting closely to the lines of the body:
a slinky black evening dress
2. Graceful sand sinuous or seductive in movement:vücuda çok hoş bir şekilde oturan (rop)?
-slinky models sashayed down the catwalk.
More partıcularly, the latter meaning.

Grading comment
I award the points to Recep, primarily because of his idiomatic translation of the whole sentence. YTEPE's submission was already to be found in the question I had asked, although, I like "dar giyimli" in his discussion note, which concentrates on the first meaning. 'Slinky' in the second sense - 'seductive in movement' is well covered by the adjective kıvrak. Thanks, as always, to them both.
