The empire waist silhouette is fitted right underneath the bust and flows outward, emphasizing the narrowest part of your figure. These dresses, especially maxi versions of them, visually elongate the frame, which is perfect for events that involve a lot of standing. Empire waist dresses can be more comfortable than very fitted gowns, especially when they have a fuller or more flowy skirt.
