Empire
The bodice of this dress hits just below the bustline and tapers out to the hem, as if from a very high waist.
If you are a rectangle, pick an empire dress that fits snugly around your chest and flares out to give you the illusion of a high-defined waistline. For a triangle, this silhouette will pull the eye up and make your legs seem long and lean.
