Fashionista Afternoon Tea! - Melbourne

I couldn't resist the invitation - an afternoon tea with a group of like-minded ladies, viewing lots of beautiful silk designs uniquely created by Teena of Abfab Designs (www.abfabdesigns.com)

Meeting women through the internet is an interesting aspect of life these days - and especially corresponding with them for sometimes anything up to 10 years, inspires a feeling of "I've got to meet ...... one of these days, we know each other so well, but we've never met face to face."

My lovely neighborly friend (more like a sister to me) drove us to the address of Teena's friend where we were made most welcome.   "Getting to know you" took a short time, as we felt we knew everyone anyway.   Janine from Real Women Australia joined us (and Janine is a fascinating lady in her own right - I'll be talking about her a little later).

Expressing our thoughts and opinions on clothing and attitudes towards the plus-size woman particularly was an interesting aside, and there were lots of issues covered that we all totally agreed upon.  (You didn't think that women could agree on things?  You'd better believe it!) 

But we soon got down to looking, feeling, comparing and even trying on some of Teena's beautiful silk garments - kimono style;  waterfall fronts;  loose flowing tops (in different lengths);  scarves and complimentary accessories.   Teena is a fountain of ideas and she's got plenty of new thoughts to take flight.





One important aspect of the afternoon's viewing is that women, plus-size women can look absolutely stunning given the opportunity of wearing beautiful garments - beautiful fabric and beautifully (and often quite simply styled.   Given the chance we can all look (and feel) beautiful.
