Polka Dots Across the Range

Polka dots appear on swing dresses with full skirts, on pencil dresses for a sharper line, and on skirts and tops for building the look in smaller doses. The print sits at the centre of our pin-up and 1950s ranges.

Styling Polka Dots

Red and black is the classic 1950s pairing; navy and white reads as nautical; pastel dots sit closer to the coquette look. Add a petticoat under a full-skirted dot dress for the fuller silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are polka dots associated with the 1950s?

Polka dots became a fashion staple in the late 1940s and 1950s, helped by their appearance in Dior's New Look collections and on screen. The print suited the era's full skirts, where a regular repeat holds its shape across a wide hem.
How do you wear a polka dot dress?

Keep the rest of the outfit plain and let the print carry the look. Red accessories against black-and-white dots give the classic 1950s finish.
Are these genuine vintage polka dot dresses?

No. Every piece is newly made in modern fabrics and modern sizing, based on 1950s shapes and prints.
