How: Empire Records
Sitting down from Sunday, a day late.
On the beach, enjoying some rays this weekend, I had an unexpected fashion conversation with a good friend of mine. HE went on a rant about how, “Empire waistlines are the worst thing to happen to men.” I asked if he was “trendbelling…”
I, on the other hand, find them flattering. The silhouette accentuates the bust line and elongates the torso. He thinks the line defeats the purpose of what “it means” to be a woman. Which is true. If you want a form fitting dress that flatters and shows off your curves you’re not on the look out for one of these dresses.
How do you feel about the empire waistline? I’ve included some options that, in my opinion, aren’t “the worst thing to happen to men.”
From casual to black tie the empire waist is appropriate for all occasions. Try this gorgeous Alberta Ferretti silk dress for an evening affair. Or for something a little more casual try this bubble dress from Forever 21. Prints are always fun for a weekend BBQ. I love this yellow print dress by Anna Sui and purple pin tuck satin dress by Forever 21.
It might not fit like a glove and it doesn’t accentuate your hips. But sometimes, us girls, like to feel like Emma once in a while. The End…
