A little history lesson. The empire (pronounced em-peer) waist was made popular by the empress Josephine, who loved high-waisted, fitted-bodice dresses. They look so very lovely on girls of all ages. Our Cici dress is shown in a cotton picnic wheel sateen of pale blue, inspired by an old favorite necktie of my dads, a man who needs no lessons about building empires. 100% cotton and machine washable.
