1) Empire waist dress - intended for throwing on when it's hot and humid. Worth keeping? I was thinking of doing some hand embroidery on it to perk it up.

2) Trying to casualize orange formal dress with ATL denim jacket and camisole. I included the side profile to show that it doesn't really look as wide in real life as with the straight on photo.

3) Denim jacket with purple Athleta dress. Looks more flattering with a less full skirt.

How is the jacket supposed to fit? It ends at the top of my hips, just over the hipbone, thereby completely camouflaging my waist. It's supposedly a cropped jacket, so I can't see how I'd find a different version that ended directly on my waist or had waist shaping. Is it too boxy? For reference here's a picture on the model.
