The Empire style gown was soft, romantic, clingy and delicate. Worn during the French Revolution, this style wes greatly influenced by the Bonaparte family on the thrones of allied contries. The gowns were marked by freedom and displayed a distinct lack of stiff and confining underclothes. Women rejected paniers and their hair was worn naturally.
