The circle of life often starts and ends with Empire line dresses. And if it doesn’t, it probably should. Confronted last week by a photograph of Vanessa Feltz extolling her gastric-band weight loss I was struck by how much better she would look – not to mention thinner – if she embraced a new age smock. The Empire, body-skimming "frock" that begs a little forgiveness ( fitted on bust, gently flowing over stomach) is just miles more flattering. Instead Vanessa chooses, like many a disillusioned fool, to cram her body into a sausage-like sheath. For some reason, women in their 40’s and 50’s imagine this is a good look. They’re wrong. Just as their bodies are beginning to fall apart, they gather it up in some misguided last-ditch attempt to hold it all together.
