The Empire Gown came out in the heyday of the French Empire as a formal outfit- it was much used by The Empress Eugenie, better known for the headgear that bears her name ( still used, somewhat oddly by Flower Girls- not the Joplin variety!) I do not know when it was adapted to the wedding role. Actress Gina Lollobrigida wore a White Empire wedding gown, very much in the nuptial style- in the movie Come, September along with bulbous matching earrings ( considering her last name, might these be better called counterweights!) That was around l96l. There are beautiful head shots of her (8Xl0) in this gown basically focused on her face- it is an Empire type gown adapted to the marital role.
