i had dresses cut much like this when i started college...same length, too...but my waist sections had lacing like dirndls...so i could make them extra tight...which made my boobs stick out more...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8M6LV2S/ref=twister_B0B652LGGQ?th=1
that was 52 years ago...things don't change that much, i guess...
very pretty!
Well, ya know what they say.....What goes around, comes around!

Pretty dresses.
