Dressed-to-a-Tea
Share ideas for dressing up for afternoon tea. Is your favorite tea-time outfit a silk caftan, flannel jammies, or a dress with proper hat and gloves? Do you enjoy wearing tea prints to tea? Or do you prefer something more elegant? Lace and ruffles? A feathered hat? Long pink gloves? Satins and silks? Cotton comfort? Jeans and a t-shirt you say? That's okay --- share it all here.
I have never thought about what I'm wearing when I'm having a cuppa - it depends on who I'm with and/or where I am. I like this card which a friend sent me some time ago. It epitomises the bygone days of genteel tea drinking.

The card is wonderful! I do enjoy tea dressed a bit more casually! Have a great day...
Your card put a huge smile on my face, it's perfect. It makes me think we should set better examples for our younger generation...Father knows best and leave it to beaver. I'm not that old but I did watch the re-runs after school :)...maybe I am old! LOL
Very nice post. Love your stichery.
An afternoon visit between friends over a cup of tea. Perfect! They do like quite refined and oh so well coiffed.
What a great card. And I agree with you that it epitomizes sharing tea, circa 1940 - 1950. How nostalgic!
Very cute card!

Love that 50ish style of dress on your card. They do look like they are having a proper tea!
I enjoyed reading about your birthday lunch! Does that count as a tea? You all looked like you were having a great time! Cute card, too!
I have that card too and always thought it was my friend and myself in another time!
