👗 Flattering for These Body Types
The empire‑style inset waistband draws the eye to the slimmest part of the torso, making it especially flattering for pear shapes and hourglass figures. The pleated bodice softens the shoulders while gently draping over the midsection—offering comfort and elegance for apple shapes too.
🧵 Sewing Tip
Stay‑stitch the neckline and armholes before assembling to prevent stretching in lightweight fabrics. Press the sash’s seam allowances toward the center and topstitch for a sleek, professional finish.
