Like the A-line, the empire style is very versatile and flattering on most body types. This style is great for full figured brides as it adds curves to the right places, while disguising the wrong. It also fits well for those brides with a smaller bust since it draws attention to the neckline An empire dress is defined by the raised waistline that sits just below the bust, from which the rest of the dress flows down to the hem. This style is usually paired with a square neckline and wide set straps or sleeves. |
