Empire Waist Dress
Empire Waist Dress -- Prom Dress Styles
Perfect for skinny minnies and voluptuous girls alike, the empire waist dress is universally flattering. It adds curves to the right places, while disguising the wrong.

The feminine prom dress features a waistline that hits between the upper-waist to just below the bust, creating a long, lean figure.

Glamazons can emphasize the sleek shape and plunging neckline with a sleek color and tip-toe heels, while girlie girls can play up the flowy prom dress with ruffles and bows.
