Aligned Images lose margins

Hi

If I place an image in a post / page and then align it left / right etc within the WordPress properties, the image doesn’t have any margins and the text butts up right against the image. In WordPress Core this is taken care of with:

.alignright {
float:right;
margin: 5px 0 20px 20px;
}

.alignleft {
float: left;
margin: 5px 20px 20px 0;
}

.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin: 5px auto 5px auto;
}

but it seems this isn’t being applied. How do I reinstate this? Or have I missed an option in the theme options? Thanks.
