What is it about polka dot dresses that makes us go crazy?
A polka dot dress is perfect for any occasion. There are as many styles of polka dot dresses as there are colors. Besides, how could we not love them if Minnie Mouse and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman love them? That said, we'd like to tell you a little bit about…
The History of the Polka Dot Dress
The polka dot print is one of the most cheerful and carefree patterns, and it makes a strong comeback every season, both summer and winter. It's impossible not to associate the polka dot dress, as it's known in the international fashion industry, with flamenco dresses. The polka dot print originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when farm workers adorned their work smocks with polka dots and ruffles and, dressed like this, went to work as vendors at the Seville Fair. This print was so popular with wealthier families that in 1929 it became the official dress of the Seville April Fair. Outside of Spain, on the international fashion scene, the polka dot dress was associated with the polka, a dance that became fashionable in the Czech Republic in 1830, and the garments worn for the dance featured polka dot patterns. However, the polka dot dress is increasingly associated with Andalusian and Spanish fashion. Although polka dot dresses have remained fashionable throughout the years, there have been periods in history when they've been particularly prominent. For example, around 1930, Minnie Mouse caused a sensation with her polka dot dress and set a trend. They made a comeback in the 50s and 70s, but they resurfaced with even greater force in the 90s, defining an era. Why? Well, thanks to Julia Roberts and her brown polka dot dress in the movie Pretty Woman . And now that we've given you some context, let's show you…
