Bold lines of modern elegance and timeless sophistication
INTENDED FIT
Empireline is designed to be worn with approximately 7 inches / 20 cm of negative ease at the fullest part of the bust. The stitch pattern creates a very stretchy fabric, so the top will fit a little looser or tighter unnoticeably.
Sample in the pictures is a size 2 with waist-shaping on a 5.5 ft (168 cm) model with a 36 inches / 91.4 cm full bust measurement.
