black long sleeve party dress Open Satin Formal Mother of the Bride this dress offers a perfect blend of glamour and elegance. Long Sleeve A-Line Mini Dress

You can change the sleeve length if you wish

My real gripe is the material

Some great color and pattern options for high tea include: White Cream or Ivory Navy Grey Pastels (blush, mist blue, sage green, etc.) Subtle floral prints or polka dots If you choose to wear something brighter, it is good to pair it with a neutral color and subtle accessories

They are incredibly versatile and look great with your favourite pair of blue jeans

Good luck, and get ready to raise a glass at your event with pride in your appearance!
