*The empire waist is the band just under the bodice, the actual true waist is lower.

This gown is Gorgeous and in mint condition.

Lining note: As you can see in the photos the lining appears longer than the outer layer. Usually I see this in vintage where the garment has shrunk from washing- this has never been worn or washed, is a time capsule mint gown so I don’t know why the lining is longer.

If once you are wearing it the lining hangs longer than the hemline it is very easy to hem as it is acetate.

The silk georgette has a rolled hem, very tiny with hidden stitches. That hem may be more of a task if you needed to shorten I suggest having the length taken in at the bodice empire seam by a seamstress ;much easier and will preserve this hem.
