1.   But a long strapless dress with empire waistline or sweater paired with a satin skirt look newer.

2.   Many outfits were peasant-like, with floral fabrics, empire waistlines, gathered sleeves with ties, embroidered designs, and hems with ruffles.

3.   There are empire waistlines that hug the bosom before falling away to a gentle A-shape.

4.   Many off-shouldered or one-shouldered dresses with empire waistlines are another good idea.

5.   The champagne-gold short lace dress with its empire waistline or the indigo cut-velvet jumpsuit both looked festive and easy to wear.
