Fun Motif Facts - Polka Dots Are Back!

Polka dots means round spots, large or small, that are printed in a regular pattern. In fashion, polka dots are usually only made for casual context. Most polka dots give a more playful image to the one who wears it. But sometimes there is an exception. We can see that very small black or blue and white dots still can be accepted as a classic style for formal occasions.

Getting Popular

How did polka dots become popular and have a place in fashion? In 1926 Miss America Norma Smallwood was photographed in a polka dots swimsuit.
