During the late nineteenth century, afternoon tea was one of the most informal entertainments to which a fashionable lady could invite her friends and acquaintances. Silvan Moon has created the most perfect gown for tea... called Afternoon Tea Gown and it is an exclusive at the main store... I rush to my tea party and cannot wait to get there... so much gossip! And, what fun to be a part of it! Look at the detail on the sleeves... and top!
Ladies attending an informal tea were expected to remove their bonnets. This rule applied even to those ladies who were staying the minimum amount of time. As for gloves, a lady could remove them or keep them on, as she preferred. I love this bonnet by Silvan Moon... it is from the Murders of Crows Gown Set - Chapeau - it is a must-have -- all the ladies will be gossiping about how fabulous your hat looks with this fabulous Tea Gown.
The ruffles and the bustle... the lovely hat... so well done... and proper... for tea and more! Afternoon Tea Gown is made in six fabulous colors... Blooming, Brew (worn), jam, matcha, merlot, and oolong. It is made for Maitreya Mesh Bodies.
