Get balanced

Get balanced

This one is tricky -- we like the top, because it adds a little width to your shoulders and helps to balance out the hips. And we like a defined waist, as long as it's in the appropriate spot. What you DON'T want is for your defined waist to hit so low that it accentuates an area where you begin to widen, which is why we keep hitting you over the head with the EMPIRE WAIST. However, the flowing cut of the dress and the overall pattern would be great for your form, if the waistline hits the spot.
