Empirical Observation

Every women's magazine ever has claimed that empire-waist dresses are universally flattering.

This poor model. She's trying so hard to make this work, but no amount of sassy poses can hide the fact that this dress is remarkably unflattering. There's so much room in there, she could get a cake out of a kid's birthday party with the candle still lit.
