Tea gown

A tea gown or tea-gown is a woman's at-home dress for informal events which became popular around the mid 19th century characterized by unstructured lines and light fabrics. Early tea gowns were a European development influenced by Asian clothing and historical approach from the 18th century which led to the renaissance time period of long and flowing sleeves.[1][2] Part of this European sense of fashion came from the Japanese Kimono as they were worn by Japanese women during a wedding or any formal ceremonies.[3] First to introduce the tea gown was in 1840's by a woman called Anna Maria Russell, a friend of Queen Victoria.[4] Russell was credited for “Inventing afternoon tea”.[4] Anything with the gown, manners and the ritual of the afternoon tea ceremony came from Russell.[4] Her friendship with the queen put her at a higher chance of fitting in the society by becoming a strong influential individual.[5] Russell became popular due to her high influence on the tea culture on the society, not for the tea parties.[6] After her death,the tea culture that she worked on existed for another 153 years.[4] Liberty & Co.
