As you know I am a huge fan of the 1940's style Tea Dress, if only because you can probably do an assault course in this dress thanks to the wrap over effect of the skirt. They really did think of everything - look good whilst running to the air raid shelter! This design is in my opinion the The best tom boy in disguise dress ever
I love the femininity of the simple design combined with a beautiful floral print. It has a pretty sweetheart neckline with straight sides which acts to draw attention to your face. The sleeves are wrap over too and so have interest when viewed side on. The little pleat at the waist just finishes the design off.
I'm not a tea drinker, tea is poison to monkey's. YAK. In fact if I inadvertently find that I have been unfortunate enough to consume tea, then it has me running for the nearest sink whilst I try to block out Mother saying "A lady never spits"...... I mentally caveat this with except when it is tea. I do like herbal infusions or tissanes though and this is an ideal dress to indulge in Afternoon Tea, though preferably with Champagne.
