This is NOT empire line

Boden dress says it's Empire line

I'm pretty sure it isn't. That is all.

I find most Boden dresses end up empire line on me. I find them incredibly short waisted. My torso is on the longer side, but not really noticeably so, until I try on a Boden dress.

Yeah, Boden and their weird waistlines.

I’m 5ft 8 with a long torso. Boden waistlines about 3” above my natural waistline.

I never buy their dresses.

No it isn't.

It is that weird current style with the 'waist' sneaking up to the armpits that is everywhere and looks bloody stupid, not to mention uncomfortable.

Someone who knows nothing decides to take a style and bugger it up but not name it correctly. Although with it being such an odd shape what could it be called?

I'm short-waisted so maybe this is the style I need to look out for in the hope dresses will fit me on the hips.

It definitely isn’t Empire line...and that is a ghastly dress.

Boden always have a few of this style in the sale. Haven’t they worked out that if it looks shit on a slender, gorgeous model then it definitely is shit.
