I can sympathize with the attempt to revive full skirts and see why the they returned to vogue by 1825. I love the empire style, but it is not flattering to "full-figured" or middle-aged women. The large, full skirts lent a woman's figure majesty while concealing figure flaws like spreading waistlines, hips, and stomachs, while the clingy empire dresses thrust such features into relief.
