style notes from all over

[flea]

It is my impression that the empire waist is meant to lie below the bustline. Therefore, should you find yourself wearing an empire-waisted garment, and find that the line lies across or above your bust, please choose either a larger size or another style. Thank you.

Also, I think the madras patchwork plaid shorts PLUS a polo, collar up, with a whale on it, is perhaps working the preppy revival a bit too hard, don't you?

No, no, these are students (two different ones, natch) in the library. The empire waist was on a sort of t-shirt with a crossover neckline, which would have been flattering on a woman built less like the figurehead on a ship.
