"Hi, I'm Jenna Dunn at Walkers' Eternity Bridal and Prom in Provo, Utah. Today we're discussing different shapes and styles of wedding dresses. This dress that I have with me, is an empire waist. An Empire waist means that the band is directly under the bust line. Girls that are a little bit bustier may want to steer clear of empire waist because it accentuates the bust and distracts from anywhere else on the dress. This empire waist dress is also a sheath dress meaning it fits closer to the body. Girls that are petite often do well in empire waist because it elongates their torso and doesn't make them look quite as short. A girl with a slimmer figure also looks well in an empire waist because with the movement of the dress, it gives the illusion of curves."
