What is a good descriptive term for this type of trim?

Yeah, agreed, there's a good argument that 'shelf bust' is not the most exact, and I don't usually advocate for calling something by an imprecise term. But for a buyer like me who want to see all the '50s dresses listed with this cut (and those along the line of what is being worn by Liz Taylor there), "Empire waist with Princess line bodice" are a bit unwieldy as as key words. Even just 'empire' doesn't capture enough of them, and I now pretty much just use variations on 'shelf-bust' to find them. I'd hate for dresses with this design to be unsearchable - it really is my favorite combination of seams :)
