What is an Empire Waist Dress?
An empire waist dress features a bodice that finishes just under the bust, above the natural waistline. This elevated waist placement creates the illusion of a longer, leaner silhouette, making it an excellent choice for apple-shaped women, plus sizes, and petite women alike. The gentle drape of these dresses also provides a flattering fit, especially when paired with ruched dresses for added texture and shape.
At L&F, our dresses come in various lengths and sleeve options to suit different occasions and seasons:
Maxi Dresses: Flowing elegance for a stunning, elongated look. Midi Dresses: A versatile length that flatters all heights. Short Sleeve Dresses: Perfect for warm-weather dressing. Long Sleeves: Ideal for cooler seasons or a polished workwear look.
