The plan of the empire dress - Wedding Guest Dresses

Things to consider: While the empire wedding dress fits well on most body types, is especially suited for those brides with a smaller bust as it draws attention to the neckline and creates definition. Added accents and fabric decorations, such as sleeves or delicate bead work, will help draw attention to the chest and neckline, and therefore create the illusion of a fuller bust.

Oddly enough, this cut can also work to conceal a large bust by controlling and minimizing the size of their breasts, due to the traditional square-neck empire collection dresses. Unlike other necklines that accentuate breast definition, such as a round neck or V-neck, Empire's square cut modestly covers larger breasts.

The design of the empire dress is also ideal for covering other unwanted body features such as a long torso, short legs, or a pear shaped figure. Since the dress flows from the bust line, you can easily leave these undefined areas. The structure of the prom dresses is also ideal for pregnant brides since the fluidity of the dress can accommodate a growing belly.
