ooops sorry. An empire waist dress is probably more slimming...

Why it's slimming:
The empire waist starts to flare under the bust, which camouflages a bulging tummy area and a wide rear and hips.

Empire waists also elongate the torso area, resulting in a slimming effect.

The wide hemline has a slimming effect on ankles and calves.
