In fashion, what does the 'con' in bodycon dress short for?

Bodycon relating to a style of tight-fitting women's clothing. This refers to skintight mini-dresses, tight high-waisted trousers and basically any other garment that makes you, as the name suggests, very conscious of your body.

Wearing a bodycon dress is a bold statement of self-esteem and body confidence. The name of the dress comes from a contraction of the phrase body conscious. Made from lycra composites, this dress clings tightly to the body, showcasing the figure, and leaving little to the imagination. Bodycon dresses must be accessorised correctly to avoid an unmitigated disaster. That means, choosing the right shoes or boots, tights, belt, jacket, jewellery and underwear. Bodycon dresses can be accessorised for both day and evening wear.
