Why Vintage Tea Dresses? 

Why Vintage Tea Dresses? 

First popularised in the early to mid-20th century, tea dresses were designed for informal gatherings and, of course, afternoon tea parties. How adorable are they? I just love wearing them.

Their timeless appeal lies in their feminine silhouettes, delicate fabrics, and whimsical prints, reminiscent of a bygone era of sophistication and grace.

So what do you think about Afternoon Tea Dresses*?

A Twist On A Classic - Caribbean Afternoon Tea: 

We had a mini heatwave here in the UK yesterday. I spent all afternoon in the garden yesterday.

Getting the grass cut and table and chairs out of storage. All ready for eating outside in the garden. 

New research revealed today has found that Caribbean cooking is the least tried cuisine in the UK, with only 27% of Brits having tasted Jamaican food and only a handful having tried dishes from other islands including Dominica (3%), Barbados (2.5%) and St Lucia (2%).
