Sometimes, when a garment or look is so associated with the time period it came from, it can take on a personality or set its own scene.
Take, for example, the Sunday Tea dress. Casual dress for those who refuse to let 'casual' enter their wardrobe. This particular dress (from the mid 80's) is basically the formula for which they are all based: pink, below the knee, sweetheart neckline, with just the right amount of gathers and pouf. Can you picture it in action? On the grass, accessorized with big white sun hats, and enough back-handed compliments to make you wonder why anyone would ever attend in the first place.
"Dah-ling, you simply must join us!" Yes, we all must. The dark side calls, and they have petit fours.
