Because the waistline sits just under the bust, it naturally elongates the body and draws attention away from the tummy area. For apple-shaped and rectangle-shaped bodies, the empire line creates curves and softens the silhouette. For pear-shaped and hourglass figures, it balances proportions while enhancing comfort.
