Why I love it:   Emily Post, author of the 1922 book, "Etiquette," defined the tea dress as "a hybrid between a wrapper and a ball dress.  It is made of rather gorgeous materials (checkü) and goes on easily (checkü), and its chief use is not for wear at the tea-table so much as for dinner alone with one's family."   Luckily we're able to wear tea length skirts in public now days.
