Napoleon's wife Josephine popularised this neo-classical style with a high waist after the French Revolution.
The waistline starts just beneath the bust and is normally defined by a seam. It's great for smaller
busted brides and the raised waist creates a long line which is also ideal for petite brides.
The style suits pear-shaped women, as it will draw attention away from the wider waistlines and
emphasize the face instead.
