Is this dress suitable dress for a V Fancy Afternoon Tea?

[NaiceAftTea]

And if so, how would you style it?

I'm a bit out my depth really

R1D3 gets you 20% off (or did a day or so ago)

You look totally fabulous! Well done on your 7st weight loss. I'm 4'10" and I need to lose 7st after the effects of an accident 10 years ago which has left me with chronic neck and back pain. I'm still having treatment for the back problems. The most I've managed to lose was about 12lbs about 5 years ago but I was told that I would only lose more if I did brisk walking. I can't do that as I have to walk a few minutes then sit a few minutes. I use a Walker from Sweden which has a seat. How long did your weight loss take? What did you do?
It's obviously turned you into a real stunner. I'd be ecstatic to look so good and the dress is superb.
Knock 'em dead at the Titz!

I think the dress looks great on you have a lovely time at the tits

The dress is lovely but I wouldn't wear it to tea with boots especially. You need a dress with a little cardi.

It’s lovely. I’ve been to the ‘Titz’ (nudge nudge wink wink etc) a few times and it’s a v mixed bag in terms of the effort that the punters put in! There’ll be people way smarter and people relatively casual too. I think the only dress code is ‘no jeans’?
Have fun, it’s proper tasty 😋

Ah just seen the dress code pic and standing corrected

Thank you for making me want to buy this dress immediately.

It’s gorgeous and I think you can dress it up or down too, have a lovely time!

Love the dress!

I got these sunnies last week (obvs rained solidly since, sorry, my fault) as wanted a 70s style to add to my collection. They have some rounder ones too:

I also agree with the Veja comments, I’d go for plain white Air Force One’s or some Stan Smiths - perfect for walking around too.

This is from the Ritz website:
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE FOR THE RITZ LONDON?
The Ritz London has a dress code in different areas of the hotel as follows: Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket and tie (jeans and sportswear are not permitted for either ladies or gentlemen) for afternoon tea in The Palm Court and for lunch and dinner in The Ritz Restaurant and Terrace. In all other areas of the hotel (The Ritz Restaurant breakfast service, The Rivoli Bar, The Long Gallery and The Italian Garden), smart casual attire is required. Please note that shorts, trainers and sportswear are not permitted in any of the hotel’s restaurants or bars.

Trainers not allowed

The dress looks lovely OP

I’m late to the party but just wanted to agree with everyone who said how lovely you look. Tan sandals would go beautifully with your dress. Have a wonderful time.
.

Agreed, you look gorgeous! Enjoy!

It’s a gorgeous dress, you look fabulous! If it’s summer I’d wear sandals with it, your feet will be too hot walking round after in boots.

Who wears a dress like that to the beach??!! Same people who wear lots of gold jewellery that gets hot and burns and cut out swimsuits that leave weird tan lines I guess!

Have a wonderful time

Hullo all!

May I ask for positive vibes and fingers crossed well wishes please?

I took the dress to local cut and shut seamstresses to be shortened by 3inches so as not to be Trippy McTrip Dress.

They've done it very badly

Dress with similar hen attached with blatant exaggeration for dramatic purposes.

IF they can't get it correct for me to collect by 3.45pm on Friday, the dress cannot be used for the event (as I can't return to shop because of work and holiday commitments).

So please please could you do a lot of hoping for me?

Tia

Ah you poor thing! Fingers crossed it gets fixed

What happened? I hopyou got to your lovely tea, OP, feeling and looking marvellous
