👗 What Body Types It Flatters
The empire waistline draws attention to the slimmest part of the torso, creating a graceful silhouette that is ideal for both pear-shaped figures and hourglass shapes. It also provides a flowing fit over the midsection, making it comfortable and flattering for those with an apple-shaped figure.
🧵 Sewing Tip
Use lightweight fusible interfacing just in the zipper area and neckline to maintain shape without adding bulk. Finish the skirt overlay hem with a narrow double-fold hem for a crisp, professional finish.
