Explanation:
Z dekoltem (wydekoltowana) z tylu a nie z przodu

Tea ma rozne znaczenie w roznych krajach
Np w pewnych rejonach Australii jest to popludniowa herbata , we Wiktorii jest to obiad wieczorny. W Anglii raczej jest to popoludniowa herbata. Tak na wyczucie mysla ze to jest suknia popludniowa. Wieczorowa suknia byloby "evening dress
