Oh god first the confusion over Ghararas and Shararas and now this

Paishwaz and Empire line waist are two totally different outfits altogether.

Paishwaaz

Imagine a frock, the top of it is a very fitted corset, attached right below the waist to the frock with heaps of gher.
Examples Rekha in SalameIshq meri jaan
Rani in Tumhari adaaon pay main wari wari
Madhuri in Yeh kis ki aahat



Empire Line waist i

Frock, where the top part is fitted with the bottom right under the chest.
There is no fitting. Looks ridiculous on flat chested women.
The breasts have to be very big to carry out this dress otherwise you'll jsut end up looking pregnant.

Anarkali dresses arent either Empire line waist as shown in the pics or Paishwaaz.

Anarkali dresses

Always has churidar with 'em.
Top is straight not corset, is not fitted, can be loose, usually made out of organza material fitted to the frock at the waist.
Doesnt need to be fitted.
Some anarkalis have coats some dont.
The frock of the anarkali dress doesnt have much gher, it can be A-line
