Buy the 265 Afternoon Tea Dress sewing pattern from Folkwear. The gracious life of the proper Edwardian lady demanded different fashions for different times of the day. Tea gowns were worn in the later afternoon, marking the time between daywear and eveningwear. They were immensely popular because women could put their tight corsets aside for several hours and enjoy the comfort of these loose-fitting, casual styles of soft layered fabrics, yet still be tastefully presentable for visitors.

Folkwear's Afternoon Tea Dress, inspired by 1912-1913 Edwardian tea gowns, is adaptable to any occasion or time of day. Whether made as a sumptuous wedding gown, feminine maternity fashion, slinky nightclub number, or a top for everyday, this pattern features many versatile elements.

The dress has an optional drape that is artfully arranged at the centre front and held in place with a gathered belt. An easy-sew bow can be attached to the front or back of the belt for further ornamentation. The sweetheart tunic wraps in front and can be held in place with the belt. The ruffled-sleeve pullover tunic can be worn belted or hanging straight. The tops are also wonderful on their own.

I have noticed that it does a great job of protecting my hair from high temperatures during styling
Color: Biotin
I am absolutely delighted with the Moroccan Argan Oil Heat Protectant Hair Spray! This leave-in conditioner has truly become an essential part of my hair care routine. My hair is quite dry and damaged, and after using this spray, it has become much softer and more hydrated. The spray is easy to apply and does not leave a greasy film, which is very nice. I have noticed that it does a great job of protecting my hair from high temperatures during styling, whether it is a straightening iron or a hair dryer. After using it, my hair looks healthy and shiny, and has also become more manageable.

I really love this hyaluronic acid serum! It makes my skin feel deeply hydrated, soft, and refreshed without feeling heavy or sticky. It absorbs quickly and works perfectly under moisturizer and makeup. After using it consistently, my skin looks smoother, healthier, and more radiant. Great quality skincare product at an affordable price. Definitely worth trying!

Great product, affordable price
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of hyaluronic acid serums over the years, and honestly, this one surprised me. The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and plump without feeling greasy or heavy. As someone in my 50s, I really appreciate products that hydrate without making fine lines look worse, and this one layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup. What makes it even better is the price. It’s incredibly affordable compared to other high-end hydrating serums that cost 3–4 times as much. You truly get amazing quality for the money. My skin feels smoother, looks healthier, and stays hydrated throughout the day. I will definitely keep repurchasing this product and highly recommend it for anyone wanting affordable, effective skincare.

Hydrating, Simple, and Great Everyday Serum
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m giving The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 5 stars because it’s such a good, simple hydration serum. It makes my skin feel noticeably more hydrated and plump, especially when I use it on slightly damp skin. I also like that it layers easily with my other skincare and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. Overall, it’s an affordable, effective product that I can use every day and always feel good about.
