Well I just noticed that recently i am leaning more towards the Vintage style dresses and when i was going through Vogue magazine (issue August 2011 UK) i saw this beautiful Miu Miu tea dress worn by Kate Moss. From that point of time i am obsessed with the classic tea dress. The vintage 40's tea dress has always been a popular look. They are just comfortable and elegant at the same time. The good thing about that is, you can wear it from day to night anywhere and everywhere.
All the details like beading, embroidery, paint makes it even more special. With that there is one more detail coming up this season, "Shoulder Pads".Pleated on the shoulder elbow sleeves, mid calf length, collar shirt dress, describes tea dress. The colors palette i prefer on this dresses are mute and earthy tones.
Okay, So how would you dress it? Bright red lipstick and t-bar shoes may be old school thing. As Jess Cartner-Morley (Guardian writer)said, You need to know from which decade the style comes from, but you also need to know which decade we are in now". Let me know when you try those dresses and how did you styled it?
Also, not always you have to buy from big fashion brands. For more day to day wear you can find those dresses from etsy.com, link pasted below and small designer as it would be more cheaper.

I like the idea of wearing it a belt.
