[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op back. I could have been more descriptive, apologies

I am 50. I can do above the knee as a have decent legs but not ultra short. Don’t think the base arms will look good on me, although red , in general, is my color. This is for a high tea. Budget - no more than 500. This bought my eye. Will wear Fluvogs.

A "high tea"? That's just the phrase for an early casual dinner in England. Do you mean afternoon tea? If so, the folks here need to avoid giving you cocktail dresses -- afternoon tea is a daytime event. You can be "festive," but you should not be wearing a cocktail dress. [/quote]

The policing of language around "tea" in the US is so stupid. [/quote]

"High tea" and "afternoon tea" are two very different things. No one is "policing" -- and it isn't "stupid" to point out the difference when OP is asking for recommendations regarding what to wear and time of day is relevant. [/quote]
