Tea dresseswere all the rage in the 1940s, where women slipped into the floral and gingham numbers with theirmidi skirtsand knife pleats, doily-like necklines and conservative silhouettes to gohave small get-togethers with friends.

Teadresses were exclusively worn during private parties, where the feminine midis were reserved only for the eyes of other women at the shindigs. They would gather around the tea tray, picking off pastries with their white gloves, complementing each other's newestoutfitsover cocktails, in between talking about the right to vote and latest hat styles at the department store.

But today, they’re back in style and better than ever. Midi dresses deserve all the praise because they’re the easiest all-in-one outfit ever. Gone are the stuffy rules that come along with the vintage-like shift, and the silhouette has gotten a major update. From asymmetrical hemlines,reworked mini skirtlengths, and wraps, there’s a lot to play with. Below are the midi dresses that are trending among fashion girls worldwide.
