Daisy Print Midi Dress from Warehouse
Once again, it would appear that vintage looks are very much on the minds of the high street retailers going into spring and the ever popular floral tea dress is back with a vengence.
Anchor Print Dress from Oasis
While much of the fifties styled fodder from retro brands can be on the vampish and sexier side of the era's style, a more demure look can be just as appealing for lovers of vintage style. That's what makes this Anchor Print Dress from Oasis such a great look, with its more downbeat interpretation.

Pussybow Midi Dress from ASOS
While full length dresses have been the most popular hemline of choice for high street designers this summer, the beginnings of this Autumn's designs offers something decidedly different. It's something equally appealing to retro lovers, however, like this Pussybow Midi Dress from ASOS.

The pussy bow and elaborate neckline add a sophisticated glamour to the dress, while the bodice has an elegant simplicity. In a rich burgundy chiffon this tea dress is anything but ordinary, providing a higher end forties look with ease.

Conversation Dress by Miss Selfridge
Tea dresses in a classic forties and fifties style are becoming increasingly common on the high street at the moment, allowing designers to push the style further than block colours and understated prints. While that approach can be hit and miss for retro lovers, this Conversation Dress by Miss Selfridge gets it spot on.
The structure is chic and timeless, with a sailor-style collar adding some fifties appeal to a late-forties dress shape. With a delicate butterfly print throughout, monochrome colouring is softened and feminine thanks to the use of cream instead of bright white.
It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £39.
