Polka dot patterned apparel and accessories is not a new fashion trend or style, however, it is hot for September! When I think of polka dots and fashion, I naturally think of a 1950s type swing dress in black spotted print on white fabric. Or the pale pink and black polka dot dress worn by Cher in the movie Mermaids, with its 3/4 length sleeves and delicate lace trim along the neckline, sophisticated yet sexy. But what's happening with today's spotted trend, is taking this classic pattern and having more fun with it by applying it to more modern shapes and styles.
