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

Sorry typo size 20.

I already have the dress, phew, it sold like hotcakes

[quote trunumber]That weight loss is amazing!!! Well done you

So you only want maxi dresses? Would you consider midi with tights and ankle boots?

That's a very lovely dress, but I can't have anything waisted as I'm like a barrel.

The boden dress is high waisted, so I think it looks okay.

I've tried it on and thought it looked well, so did a couple of friends (sent photos) but they might be being kind. But I've lost confidence now after this thread

@NaiceAftTea

It's the tits, you don't need to be dressed up 'fancy'.

Who are you going with?

That would determine my choice of clothing more than it being the Titz.

Are you 30 years okd (as I assumed) or size 30 as bluntness assumed ?

It’s fine for the Ritz :)

I own it and would wear it to the Ritz. It is well made, fully lined, and very comfy. I would call it informal rather than casual.

Def white trainers unless it is a dull day. Boots and a polo neck would make it warmer

That’s fine for tea at the Ritz.

I have a dressing gown that looks very very similar. I do like the dress even so.

We went to the Ritz for afternoon tea a couple of years ago and people weren’t really dressed that fancy. I just wore plain black dress - it was winter though

Post us a couple of photos! You can scribble out your face if you really want to.

I'm shorter & fatter than you, no need to be self conscious!

I will admit to having it in the jungly green also

It's not remotely fancy, sorry. It's a beach dress.

I think it’s fine for the Ritz but not with knee boots.... tan or otherwise.

It’s beautiful & I think it would be perfect for afternoon tea and a walk round London.

I’ve worked at lots of ‘fancy’ hotels and restaurants. In my experience the more posh someone is the scruffier they dress! I’ve served Lords and Ladies with holes in their jumpers.

The dress is lovely. Congrats on the amazing weight loss and enjoy!

It's fine for afternoon tea, really. I think it's a lovely dress.

It's lovely, can you wear it with nice sandals? If you take a bag, with a change of shoes for walking around, if your sandals don't work for walking.
Maybe some big jewellery.
It really doesn't matter what you wear, just wear it with pride. You have done so well with your weight loss.🎉

GORGEOUS

It's a beach dress.

Really? Hardly seems practical for a day at the beach.

It seems to be the style of dress that’s very much in at the moment.

And I don't think it is remotely a beach dress, it's hugely impractical for the beach. Maybe for wearing to your fancy hotel cocktail bar after you've been to the beach and drinking cocktails as the sun goes down. Big hat required.

Lovely dress and suitable for all different occasions. I would wear it with white trainers (I have a similar dress and have worn it’s many times).

I think you will look lovely! I would wear with very white trainers - I go to these kind of places a lot! You will fit right in! Congrats with the weight loss truly amazing x

That's lovely, OP. Perfect for a not-overdressed but still 'out-out' look. Not a beach dress

And I'm always going to think of it as The Tits from now on. Thanks for that

I think this will be fine, it's a lovely dress.

As op have said, you don't have to get super dressed up for tea at the Titz.

It doesn’t have to be ‘fancy’, it has to be appropriate for tea at the Ritz, which it is. London is casual. The people tottering around hotels for afternoon tea in heels, giant blowdries and weddingy outfits are tourists.
