Love a classic silhouette? How about bopping back to a simpler time, let's say the 50's... where the dresses are uberly flattering, feminine and FUN!

What do you think?
Are tea-lengths only for destination and informal weddings? Could you see yourself wearing one?
If so, how would you make it more formal?
