Synopsis The term empire waist refers to a style of neoclassical womens dress which shot to popularity in the early 1800s, specifically from about 1800 - 1819 in France, England and Ireland The empire waistline sits high on the form typically under the bust or just above the ribcage, emphasizing a verticality in appearance Empress Josphine Bonaparte1 led European society fashion in the early 19th century and favored the empire dress style Fine and delicate fabrics, such as light, soft cotton muslin2 and silk, were the choice textiles for empire waisted gowns
