While drop waist gowns were a growing presence in last year’s collections, they’re now decidedly the “it” silhouette of 2025.
With all the nostalgic throw backs omnipresent in the fashion world right now, it was inevitable that the elegantly refined yet ultra-fun silhouette of the dropped waist, traditionally associated with the sophisticated glamour of the 1920s, was bound to reinvent itself.
The perfect mode to combine princess-style full skirts with slinky styling, this hip-hugging cut accentuates the waist and hugs the hips in the best possible way, celebrating femininity, effortless elegance, and minimalist chic with a maximalist twist. What’s not to love?
