hug closely
Usage Note
Mouler means to shape something in a mould (mouler du béton — to cast concrete) but also, informally, to cling tightly to a shape — clothes that moulent the body. The past participle moulé is used adjectivally for well-cast or tight-fitting items. The noun moule (mould / mussel) is an important homograph to distinguish in context.
Examples
"Elle porte une robe qui moule parfaitement sa silhouette."
Natural Translation
She is wearing a dress that hugs her figure perfectly.
