Tea Party Dress Ideas Worth Saving

blue flowers and puff sleeves

We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous blue floral dress. I love the oversized off-the-shoulder sleeves and the green leaves scattered through the print.

Pair a full midi skirt like this with gold-tone ankle-strap heels. If you want to go a step further, add a wide-brimmed tan hat like the one here.

pink sparkle and white bows

How cute is this pink outfit? The sparkling dress has little bead-like borders across the bodice, plus a matching pink hat above.

Those white bow shoes may just be my favorite part. Keep the small beaded bag and sheer gloves if you want to follow this all-dressed-up look.

blue gingham and black slides

If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. The blue-and-white gingham dress has a square neckline and a flared midi skirt.

Black slides and a tan basket-style bag finish the outfit without lots of extras.

white scallops and eyelet cutouts

I am obsessed with the details on this white dress. The little circular cutouts, scalloped edges and puff sleeves are so pretty together.

Try a small black shoulder bag like the one here if you don’t want to keep every accessory white.

fitted florals and sheer sleeves

Don’t want a big flared skirt? No problem!

This fitted floral midi gives you a different shape, with a square neckline and long sheer sleeves.

I love the pink and blue flowers against the pale background. Try a little white handbag like the one here to finish yours.

lilac with a high neckline

This lilac dress may just be one of my favorites here. The high neckline and curved pocket openings give it plenty of detail without a print.

Choose silver-tone strappy heels and a small metallic clutch to try the same combination.

deep green and cream gloves

If you love a vintage-inspired outfit, this one is for you. The deep green dress has a folded neckline, short sleeves and a full skirt.

I especially love the cream hat with the matching gloves. Keep the pale pointed pumps if you want to carry that color through the whole outfit.

pink blooms and a big bow

How pretty is this floral dress? The large pink flowers are gorgeous across the full skirt, with smaller puff sleeves up top.

There’s plenty to love about the accessories too. Try a wide hat with a big pink bow, then add a layered pearl-style necklace if you want the same dressed-up finish.

The pale round earrings are a lovely finishing touch. I’d leave off a necklace here so you can see the neckline.

black dress and long gloves

Who says you have to stick to pastels? This black dress goes all out with a wide skirt, an angled neckline and long black gloves.

The double strand of white beads is so pretty against the black. Add a wide-brimmed black hat if you want to recreate the whole look.

yellow flowers and a tied cardigan

This yellow pairing is so cute. The cropped cardigan ties at the neckline and sits over a pale dress covered in little yellow flowers.

If you want an extra layer with your floral dress, try matching it to one of the colors in the print like this.

big black polka dots

The polka-dot fans are going to love this! Large black dots cover the white dress, from the overlapping V-neck bodice to the full midi skirt.

Keep your accessories simple with a little black bag and beige pointed pumps. The print already gives you plenty to work with.

pastel flowers and ruffled tiers

I am obsessed with this ruffled mini dress. It’s so pretty, plus those pale pink, yellow and blue flowers look lovely together.

The ruffles run around the neckline and down the tiered skirt. Try white platform heels like these if you want to keep the rest of the outfit in pale colors.

I love the large floral hats above the plain dresses. Pick one bold flower for your hat if you want to try that same combination.

coral ruffles from top to bottom

If you are looking for lots of ruffles, then this one is for you. They frame the deep V-neckline and continue all the way down the long coral skirt.

The little cutout patterns are a pretty detail too. I’d keep the tan sandals and simple gold-tone necklace rather than adding more decoration.

black pleats and pointed shoes

Don’t want to add a hat or gloves to your outfit? No problem there! Simply try this sleeveless black dress with matching pointed shoes.

I love the pointed waist seam above the pleated skirt. The dark round earrings finish the look without taking it in a completely different direction.

sage bows and white ruffles

How adorable are all these little bows? This sage green dress has white ruffled trim, decorative buttons down the bodice and bead-like strands at the waist.

There’s even a matching ruffled neck accessory. Save this one if you want a more elaborate, costume-inspired tea party look.

blue blooms and a wide hat

Here’s another look at that lovely blue floral style. I love how the large flower clusters continue over the puff sleeves and down the full skirt.

The broad tan hat and small bracelet are enough for this outfit. You don’t have to add a necklace just because the shoulders are bare.

pale green and a white clutch

If you’re looking for a pastel dress without flowers or ruffles, go with this pale green midi. The square neckline, puff sleeves and pleats give it such a pretty shape.

blue with an angled hem

Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty blue dress. I love the diagonal ruffle across the skirt and the uneven hem below it.

The sleeveless top keeps things simple. Finish yours with a small tan basket-style bag and black ankle-strap heels to follow this outfit.
