Modern tea dress interpretations are becoming increasingly common on the high street, creating a great summer choice. Thankfully for us, most versions retain some of their vintage roots with charm and style. This Coco Bean Dress by Closet is no different, leaning on a forties shape for inspiration.

The print is more modern than a forties look, without compromising the retro roots of the dress. Flutter sleeves and a shirred waist are modern touches, which in turn help to create a feminine retro silhouette.
