A tea dress or gown is popular for entertaining. It began in the 1800s when women would wear these type of dresses that are both beautiful and casual at the same time. However, the dresses have evolved over time due to the changes that have been made to fashion over the years. Back then, the tea dresses were long dresses that were used worn during tea parties.
Today, tea dresses are both colorful and springy. People will wear the tea dresses to certain informal parties like a spring party outside. These dresses may be solid or have a pattern to them, but some will have flowers on them to note the time of year it is. In most cases, the tea dresses are mid-length and not too long or short.
