The Floral Tea Dress

The Floral Tea Dress

Create curves in all the right places with our pretty floral print Tea Dress. Prefect for a lunch with the ladies, or a late afternoon tea, this easy-to-wear option creates a sophisticated look whilst flattering your shape. Often overlooked by shoppers when choosing clothing, a neck line can play an important part in flattering the figure; A V-Neck creates a slimming effect on the neck and shoulders, which can give the illusion of an all-round smaller physique. With intricate details that will complement the waistline such as a gathered waistline and a single drop-pleat, this dress is a figure flattering must-have.

This dress grazes the body without drawing attention to the area, which makes it perfect for those who are stomach conscious. Dress up with accessories and heels for an evening dinner, or dress down with a raincoat and flats for a casual and comfortable look. This tunic is flattering and versatile for any occasion.
