Choosing an Empire Waist Wedding Gown

While an empire waistline can be worn by several body types, it is typically best for those with a smaller bust size. With the high waistline positioned just below the bust, the design creates a natural emphasis on the upper body while camouflaging the waist and hips. Effortlessly chic and unique, we recommend consulting with your personal bridal stylist to discover the empire waist wedding dress that is best for you!
