High Tea Treats is State of Grace’s polite but playful summer collection themed around the lady-like ritual of high tea. This sweetly feminine range offers the chance to indulge in something that is special, unique and definitely out of the ordinary … a treat!
Dresses feature predominantly in this collection, in a variety of looks; from the sequined glamour of the Sugar Sparkle dress to the casualness of the Lady Lattice. Structured styles are bold in their simplicity, relaxed dresses fall softly in draping silks and cottons.
Jackets are cropped, fitted and defined. The Pretty Persuasion jacket is a stand out piece with its clever tailoring, sharp lapels and raised shoulder seams, in brilliant, bright cerulean blue.
Skirts are high waisted and finish demurely just above the knee. The overall feeling is of femininity and refinement with a subtle sense of glamour.
Pretty detailing emphasizes the ladylike aspect of this range. Frills feminize shirt dresses and tops or layered creates a stunning sleeve detail for the Fiesta dress. Contrast rope embroidery and square necklines highlight loosely fitted T-Shirt style tops. This style is duplicated in the understated luxury of washed silk.
Drawstrings cinch waists or subtly change the leg shape of the Best Friend trouser.
An embroidered Water Lilly motif in contrast stitching appears on dresses, tops and casual pieces. Colors range from bright blue, crimson and coral through to powdery blush and silver grey. Prints contrast these bright and soft tones.
The final humorous touch is created by the playful bow brooch used throughout the collection.
