However, when I studied patternmaking, the textbook I used said that the 'Classic Empire' had a styleline under the bust which separated the bodice into 2 piece
This is a great choice if you're looking for a dress that works both for a bigger outing and for a family celebration: wedding dress - especially in spring and summer when light blue looks fresh and luxurious, bridesmaid dress or for bachelorette party in elegant style, communion, christening, anniversary - when you want to look classy, dinner, party, event - paired with gold jewelry and updo, ball, prom, formal gala - as an elegant evening dress in modern edition
I would leave the salad and the dressing separate until you are ready to eat so the veggies stay fresh and firm
I'd be happy to keep the pomegrante trim, although if there's another that would work better please let me know
