Empire gowns

An empire line is a traditional and slimming silhouette – great for petite figures. The under bust line with elongate your figure and legs. An empire line gown is perfect for a more relaxed or destination wedding. Many of our gowns featuring this silhouette are soft and floaty gowns, some with a silk georgette overlay that is lovely.
