The Classic Midi Tea Dress | Over 50 Style. You simply can’t go wrong with a midi-length tea dress. Can you? Especially when it is polka dots.
I have been wearing polka dots regular, for over 15 years and guess what? They are back, bigger than ever at the minute.
A polka-dot midi tea dress looks great day or night.
For a laid-back daytime style, pair it with trainers and a denim jacket; for an evening out, glam it up with shoes and bold earrings.
It is also appropriate for all seasons; wear it alone in the sun or layer it with knits in cooler temperatures.
