The dining room looks pretty swanky too. Maybe we'd go for dinner instead....but yet again, I ask: what to wear? HELP!

What to Wear for a Deco High Tea
Okay, now for my next activity plans: Just heard the Windsor Arms hotel is an amazing place in Toronto for high tea in a late 1920s deco setting. Have a peek and give me your thoughts: What should I wear if we go? What would a woman in the late 20s or early 30s wear to an afternoon tea in winter time? Would the knit suit be appropriate (i'd wear dark knickers this time)?

I dare not advise you :-)
But what a beautiful venue x
Clothes became more formal as the day wore on, so
a suit ( the knit would be fine) or a dress and coat, matching shoes bag / hat gloves, 2 colours for accessories was very popular in the 30s, eg
hat and gloves the same, shoes and bag the same, but whatever yo wear have a great time.
Have to think on it! But you KNOW it has to be something fabulous!
Wow, what a gorgeous place! I've always thought it would be so fun to go for high tea at a fancy hotel. I just love the 20s deco decor of this one, wow. I think that beautiful knit suit would be appropriate. A dress would definitely be best I think. Emily Post suggests an afternoon dress (not sure what that is though ;) ) and a hat.
Oooh! What a gorgeous place! I love the art deco decor! I'm sure you will look fabulous as you always do in whatever you choose to wear! Be sure to post pics when you go :)Xoxo!

Oh that looks lovely! I think your new knit dress would be just perfect.

Oh! You lucky duck! A friend and I toured Europe (England, Scotland, Ireland) last year and we searched for a high tea similar to what you are showing here and never found anything as fancy. Have fun, wear something roomy, and eat lots of delicious scones for me!
Whoa, that place is fabulous!
I sooooo wanted to have tea at Willow but we arrived in Glasgow after five on a Sunday and it was just a stop over so we could take the Stranraer ferry to Belfast. Once again- you lucked out!
Wow! I have no idea what to suggest for you to wear...it needs to be fabulous though! I love this place...so regal! Thanks for the comments sweetie. Have a great Thursday! Kori xoxo
