The dreCtoire robes need to be cunuingly
fashioned with a tight foundation to have
the loose folds shape in to the figure
az the waist line and reveal the swell of
the hip. There is very little difference be
tween the dIrectoire and empire robes save
il detail. The directoire has the swathing
bands that come below the bust and draw
the robe in TO the figure. and the sleeves
are of elbow length, whereas the so-called
empire has shorter sleeves and the bands
of the bodice come above or across the top
OF the bust, and do not draw the folds be-
meath in to the form.

these Is tight fitting. bat in all there is
the unbroken line from the bust to the
floor. The terms empire princess and prin-
cess are sufficient for practical purposes TO
differentiate them.
