Why is there so many Empire waists in 1893 paintings/pictures?

I thought this was a Regency thing. Are those costumes specifically made for the pictures? Or some time of wearable at-home 1890s-does-1790 dresses kinda thing? I hope it’s the latter as I’m working on a character design that heavily on it.
