Trend Alert: Tea Dresses!

 

What exactly is a tea dress, you may ask? Historically, it was exactly what it sounds like- a dress worn to tea. The use of tea dresses dates back to the mid 1800s, when European women wore informal dresses made of light fabrics for afternoon tea.

Tea dresses are usually floral printed or polka dot printed which naturally have a more casual vibe. Most tea dresses feature fitted waists and deep V necklines, some of them with a thigh high slit which are friendly to most body shapes. I think that’s why tea dresses are so popular now.
