About This Article
To dress for a tea party, try wearing a dress in a floral pattern with a length that falls midway between the knees and the ankles. Alternatively, you can pair a skirt that falls at or just below the knee with a sweater set for a sweet, classic look. Next, choose a dressy pair of shoes that compliment your outfit such as sandals, wedges, or heels. If you’d like, complete your look with an elaborate wide-brimmed hat or a flower in your hair. You can also put on a pair of white gloves if the party is a formal event. For more tips, like how to dress your child for a tea party, read on!
