This style came into fashion thanks to the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte at the beginning of the XIX century. In ancient times, for such dresses, such a thin material was chosen, that it shone through and enfolded the female body. For these outfits special lining of silk dense fabric was sewed. For those times, this outfit weighed no more than 200 grams, so some girls sewn to such dresses a load with weight. More courageous women made incisions in skirts or wetted outfits with water, so that it would more advantageously emphasize the female silhouette. Over time, embroidery was applied in the form of ornaments, the depth of the neckline was reduced, the train was removed, and the hem was shortened.
Later, the dress was supplemented with a corset, and the bodice and skirt were decorated with gold and silver threads, romantic lace products, ruffles, festoons and frills.
The distinctive features of modern Empire style wedding dresses are a deep neckline, high waist, a long straight skirt with folds, a sleeve in the form of a flashlight with cuffs.
