These princess seams are on a belted dress. The princess seams, as we've discussed many
times, they serve a function of bringing in the garment at its most narrow point which
is your waist and then they flared out based on the hips and then they come back in based
on hemline. So there's two ways of showing that, it's giving two ways for the body to
be shown as in like a typical hour glass cut in shape. It's basically the belted way is
just reinforcing that the body curves in. I have here just a simple princessing shift
with a belt and I put the belt at the hip point. You could put it up here at the waist.
You could put it anywhere. But the whole point of it is that it reinforces the fact that
the body's going in there. The pleats.
