Empire A-line dresses

Empire A-line dresses are great in light and soft fabrics such as chiffon. This dress features high waist-lines under the bust line and flows out on the skirt. It highlights the smallest point of your figure and adds curves. It is a great option for all body types including plus-sizes. The chiffon fabric gives an easy, breezy flattering choice for many women as it floats away from the body without adding too much volume. It also looks elegant and effortless.

If you want to keep it minimal for this year’s festive celebrations a classic dress silhouettes such as the Little Black dress or slinky slip with delicate details will make the dress unique for the occasion. For instance, high-knee slits with sparkly details, embroidery, or lace embellishments. Also, rich fabric textures such as velvet or luxurious silk satin fabrics in gold, silver or champagne colours accompanied with dazzling accessories. This style suits hourglass and boxy figures.
