southern tea party dresses Audrey Tea Party Corset Dress

Pleated to perfection, this hanky hem maxi dress from Mango is made from satin

Pair it with short heels and a matching bag

The shirt-dress silhouette button-front, long sleeves, flared skirt is a structure that has been around long enough to have become genuinely classic, which is exactly why it works for autumn and winter occasions where you want the colour and the detail to be the statement, not an experimental shape

The flower is an additional detachable detail, allowing you to style the dress in two ways: wear it with the statement flower for a bold, couture-inspired look, or remove it for a clean, timeless silhouette
